Battles of Baalbek

The Battles of Baalbek were a series of battles taking place in and around Baalbek during the Great Powers' War in 72 AEE. The fighting took place between Hittite and Egyptian forces, which wrestled for control over the strategic region, as securing it would allows easy access to the rest of the Levant south of it, even without control of the ports.
The First Battle of Baalbek was won by the Hittites and resulted in their capture of the city. The Second Battle happened months later and resulted in and Egyptian victory and recapturing of the city. Finally, the Third Battle took place north of the city and was won once again by the Egyptians. There were some smaller skirmishes around the area, but ultimately the Egyptians managed to clear the area and push the Hittites back, fully securing the Baalbek region.
