 Aqil 's Hawwara tribesmen in Galilee were not related to the well @-@ known Hawwara tribe of Upper Egypt , who were noted for their " bravery , horsemanship , and equipments " according to the Palestine Exploration Fund . The Hawwara of Galilee were actually from the Ainawiyeh tribe of the Lower Egyptian desert region who had entered the service of Ahmad Pasha al @-@ Jazzar while the latter was based in Egypt in the late 18th century . They came with al @-@ Jazzar to northern Palestine when al @-@ Jazzar became the powerful Acre @-@ based Ottoman governor of Sidon after the death of the Arab strongman of Galilee , Zahir al @-@ Umar , in 1776 . Al @-@ Jazzar named the Ainawiyeh tribesmen " Hawwara " as an honor to associate them with the actual Hawwara of Upper Egypt .
