Historical Usage
The Battle of Ascalon (Yamkunah) took place in 1099 AD during the First Crusade, where the Seljuk Turks, led by Kerboga ibn El-Hareth, were defeated by the Crusader army under the leadership of Godfrey of Bouillon. The defeated Seljuks retreated to the city of Ashkelon, and the Crusaders pursued them. The Seljuk leader, Kerboga, was killed in the battle, and the Crusaders reached Ashkelon. However, they were unable to take the city and retreated to Jaffa. The name 'Ashour' is derived from the name of Ashkelon.
