The Battle of Ad-Dakim (Arabic: معركة الدكيم) took place on July 3, 1915, in the Sultanate of Lahej, in which the Yemeni-Ottoman forces defeated the forces of the Sultan of the Sultanate of Lahej, Ali bin Ahmed, who were loyal to the British. They entered Lahej, and its sultan, Ali bin Ahmed Al-Abdali, withdrew from it to Aden, where he was assassinated by firing squad.[1]
