On March 10, 1799, the Ottoman city of Jaffa (in what is today Israel) fell to Napoleon and his French troops. The general ordered his men to slaughter several thousand men in the city’s garrison that had been taken prisoner, mainly Albanians.
Napoleon viewed this as justice for the Ottomans killing French messengers sent to Jaffa. Today it would be a war crime.
