Karameh

Al-Karameh (), or simply Karameh, is a town in central Jordan, near the Allenby Bridge which spans the Jordan River. The river defines the border between Jordan and the West Bank (Palestine).
Al-Karameh was also the battleground for one of the main events in the history of the Palestinian national movement. In 1968, the city served as the political and military headquarters of the Palestinian Fatah group led by Yasser Arafat. On 21 March 1968, al-Karameh became the site of the Battle of Karameh.
