Third Expedition of Wadi al Qura, also known as the Campaign of Wadi al Qura[5] or Ghazwah of Wadi al Qura[6] took place in June 628 AD, 2nd month of 7AH, of the Islamic calendar.[6][7]

The operation was successful and the siege lasted 2 days before the Jews surrendered and accepted the terms offered by Islamic prophet Muhammad, similar to what the Jews had done in the Battle of Khaybar and in the Conquest of Fidak.[1][2]

This was the 3rd Expedition in Wadi al-Qura, the 1st Expedition and 2nd Expedition in Wadi al Qura took place one year earlier.
