Jezzar Pasha
In 1799, a 200-men strong Nizam-I Cedid army was involved in combat assisting Jezzar Pasha in his resistance against Napoleon in Gaza Strip. Around 304 Nizam-I Cedid infantry and artillerymen on the side of Admiral Sir Sydney Smith successfully defended Acre. One third of the Ottoman forces were sent to aid British forces removing the French from Egypt while the Nizams also played the vital leading role in capturing of Rashid.
