Can you tell me about the history of the Muslim's attacks on the Christian Holy Land during the crusades?

The Muslim’s attacks on the Christian Holy Land during the Crusades started with their capture of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade. This event marked the start of nearly two centuries of Muslim-European wars and tensions over control of the holy sites. During this period, Muslim forces captured and destroyed Christian towns, cities and villages, killing or driving out the inhabitants. On several occasions, European forces responded with attacks of their own, resulting in the recapturing and re- Christianization of the areas. The Crusades eventually ended with the fall of Acre in 1291, with both sides having suffered massive casualties and destruction of land and property. This marked the end of major military presence in the region, though conflict continued in certain areas until the present day.
