Egyptian army reached 10,000 soldiers. Initially, the Egyptian campaign began with a disaster - the Nusayris captured five hundred Druzes who had been sent to the region and killed all of them near al-Murayqib. In October 1834, an spy report from the region that is held in the Ottoman archives in Istanbul suggested that the Ottomans could reconquer the entire region with the Alawis' help. However, with the help of the new troops, Salim Beg subjugated the region within a week, and forced the Nusayris of the northern part of the mountain to accept his authority after disarming them and destroying several of their villages.

This attack led to the defeat of the Nusayri rebels and at the end of the raid, many weapons and flocks of sheep were captured, the Nusayri leaders were executed, several Nusayri rebels were captured and later conscripted, and the villages of the Nusayris burnt to punish the entire people and discourage other Nusayris from resisting.

This emboldened the
Kalbiyya fighters, who proceeded to launch more raids against Ottoman positions, which the authorities responded to harshly.

When
Ibrahim Pasha was informed about the Nusayri attacks on his troops in Latakia, he ordered Salim Beg to move from Tripoli to the region. As soon as the rebels heard of the arrival of Salim Beg’s forces, they fled Latakia towards the Nusayri Mountains. Many of them were killed by the Egyptians and
