Umayyad invasions of Egypt (657–658)

The Umayyad invasions of Egypt (657–658) were a series of military expeditions during the First Fitna, initiated by the governor of Syria, Mu'awiya I, against the administration of the fourth Rashidun caliph, Ali. Following the Assassination of Uthman, Egypt emerged as a pivotal battleground; the province was initially held by Alid-aligned governors, but faced mounting opposition from local factions demanding retribution for the late caliph.
