Many of them were asleep in barracks in the valley on June 10 when the Sharif of Mecca , Hussein bin Ali fired a shot into the air from the window of the Hashemite palace signaling the beginning of the Arab Revolt . Hearing this his 5000 supporters started firing on Turkish troops in three fortresses overlooking the holy city , and at the Jirwall barracks on Jeddah road . The attack upon the Turkish forces was sudden and their acting commanding officer was unaware that a revolt had started . As Sharif ' s and the Ottoman banners were of same colour , the Turkish commander could not see the difference . He telephoned Sharif Hussain about the situation and he was told the reason and he ( the Turkish commander ) was told to surrender . He refused . The battle started and continued . The next day Binu Hashim ' s forces advanced and captured Bash - Karakol at Safa corner adjacent to the Masjid al - Haram . On the third day , Hamidia , the Ottoman Government Office , was captured , as well as the Deputy Governor . Now the captive Deputy Governor ordered his remaining Turkish troops to surrender .

The Ottoman caliphate ended and Palestine came under British rule , leading to the eventual existence of the state of Israel .

Parker next guided what was now a flotilla of 6 ships to the east of a recently abandoned Nombre de Dios and approached Portobello in pinnaces and shallops with the help of the black guides . Assault . Under cover of darkness early in the morning of 6 February they employed a captured Portuguese to respond to a challenge from the newly completed fort of San Felipe on the North shore and after succeeding in this ruse were able to bypass the place without hindrance . They then disembarked a vanguard of some forty men from the shallops . Parker and his men were then able to enter the city on the south shore unopposed since the castle of Santiago de la Gloria was positioned too far away to offer any protection . Whilst some of their party created as much noise and panic as possible in their attack on the barracks and crown buildings the remainder of the English took control of the harbour . The 100 Spanish defenders which the Spanish Governor Pedro Meléndez had sent was too little too late . There was a bitter battle fought to seize the treasure house but it was captured after some forty Spaniards were surrounded all being either killed or captured . The English were able to push the rest of Spanish troops with ease inland and with only a few casualties . By the end of the day however Parker had secured the town and set about garrisoning the place .

Parker then went about sacking the town and he burnt the suburb of Triana to the ground . After this and with all the booty that could be collected along with cannons , Parker then withdrew releasing the prisoners . The English then stood out to sea with a total 10 , 000 ducats of booty .
