Description

Storm threatening over the Sea of Galilee. After the fight at Semakh, the 4th Light Horse Brigade advanced north along the western edge of the Sea of Galilee towards the ancient town of Tiberias. Simultaneously, the 3rd Light Horse Brigade approached Tiberias by the road from Nazareth. The town capitulated, after slight fighting. General Allenby appears about this time to have decided to carry his advance to Aleppo.
