Sami Pasha's forces suppressed the revolt with an indiscriminate massacre, and the leaders of the revolt were executed; 5 in Damascus and another 5 in Al-Karak as an example to their fellow villagers.
The inhabitants of Al-Karak were forced to pay compensation for all the damage done to state property.
Hundreds of Karakis were imprisoned in Damascus and given harsh sentences ranging from years of hard labour to lifetime imprisonment.
The demographic and economic recovery of Al-Karak was further undermined by the brutal suppression of the uprising.
A general amnesty in 1912 ended the matter and released the prisoners from the revolt.
The brutal suppression of the revolt greatly angered the locals and is thought to have contributed to their support of the 1916 Great Arab Revolt.
