The Battle of Fahl or Battle of Pella was an Eastern Roman-Arab battle . The Arabs were commanded by Chālid ibn al-Walīd , the Romans by Theodoros Trithyrios . The battle took place at today's Fahl (ancient Pella in the Jordan Valley in Syria ) in January 635 . The result was an Arab victory. Some imperial soldiers then withdrew to the Beisan fortress. The defeat meant that Emperor Herakleios took the Arab threat more seriously and sent a larger army, which was defeated in the battle of Yarmuk the following year .
