The Battle of Boharsef took place during the Egyptian–Ottoman War (1839–1841) between Ottoman Empire forces, supported by Britain and Austria, and the Egyptian forces led by Ibrahim Pasha, son of the powerful Egyptian governor, Muhammad Ali. The battle occurred as part of a broader Allied effort to curtail Muhammad Ali’s ambitions, which had brought much of Syria under Egyptian control.
