"Battle of Wadi-Haramia" Was Not a Battle

[edit]

I'm not sure why this is included in the list of battles. All that really took place there according to the account is killing an unfaithful Jew and a single soldier. (1 Macc. 3:16) No other deaths are reported in the account, so how does this qualify as a "battle", or a gorilla action, as some claim? The beginning of the Maccabean revolt, yes, battle, no. Likely it was less than a handful of soldiers, one got killed and the others never fought because they were outnumbered. --Corjay (talk) 07:39, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
