On March 19 1799, Bonaparte laid siege to Acre, which was governed by the 70-year- old Ahmad Pasha "al-Jazzar," meaning "the butcher" – a reference to noses, ears, eyes, hands and feet he had severed from Christians and enemies. The French encountered stiff resistance from the pasha, and suffered from heavy bombardment from six British ships anchored in the bay.
The French field artillery had not yet reached Acre, but a foiled British attempt to recapture Haifa had left the French with a 32- pounder cannon. With that and the light artillery the French had seized in Jaffa, Bonaparte bombarded Acre on March 28 – but within hours, the French cannons were rendered useless. Showing his contempt for Bonaparte, Jezzar avenged the few hits inside Acre by executing 40 Christian residents of the city.
For weeks the French tried to storm the fortress. Their casualties were awful.
The skeletal remains of those unknown poor simple soldiers who came from Europe and died in trenches during the Acre siege in horrible circumstances are a sample of the total absence of human value. The corpses remained in the field to rot unburied and the Turks occasionally beheaded bodies to prove their 'bravery' and display the head atop the walls.
the French Consul in Haifa was asked to arrange an official military ceremony in a new place.
On April 30, field artillery reached Acre, but it was too little, too late. A week later a fleet of 30 ships was spotted on the horizon, and when the French learned that the fleet sailed the Turkish colors, their spirit broke.
