Kléber had reopened hostilities, although the Ottoman reoccupation was well underway, defeating a Turkish army at Heliopolis (near Cairo) on March 20 and recapturing Cairo on April 21.
He has begun to restore French authority when a Syrian Muslim, Sulayman al-Halab, assassinates him on June 14.
His successor, 'Abd Allah Jacques Menou, a French officer (and former nobleman) who had turned Muslim, is determined to maintain the occupation and administers at first a tolerably settled country, although he lacks the prestige of his two predecessors.
