Years: 693 - 693
A second Arab army, commanded by Sass'n ibn an-Nu'min, is dispatched from Egypt in 693.
It faces stiff resistance in the eastern Aurés Mountains from the Jaw'ra Berbers under the command of a Jewish woman whom the Arabs refer to as Kihinah (”the Priestess”).
Soldiers of the pagan Berber tribes swell her Judeo-Berber army after the death of Kusaila.
