Bitka za Datin (arap. داثن)^[2] bila je manja bitka tokom Arapsko-Vizantijskih ratova između Rašidunskog kalifata i Vizantijskog carstva u februaru 634. god, ali je postala veoma poznata u literaturi onog doba.^[3]Bitka je završena Vizantijskim porazom.

Bitka

Bitka je usledila nakon niza arapskih pohoda oko Gaze. Vizantijski komandant (duks i kandidatus) Sergije okupio je mali odred vojnika (zbog nedostatka trupa) i i predvodio tu omanju konjičku formaciju vojske iz svoje baze u Cezareji do položaja na oko 125 kilometara južno do područja u blizine Gaze. Odatle je nastavio ka arapskoj protivničkoj sili koja je bila brojčano superiornija^[4] i kojom je komandovao 'Amr ibn el-As.^[5]^[6] The opposing forces met at the village of Dathin on February 4, not far from Gaza.^[7] Protivničke snage su se suočile u selu Datin 4. februara, nedaleko od Gaze.^[7] Vizantinci su poraženi, a kandidatus Sergije je ubijen, zajedno sa još oko 300 vojnika.^[8]

Prema jednom od izvora približno iz tog doba (Doktrina Jakober nupti baptizati), muslimansku pobedu slavili su lokalni jevreji,^[3] jer su prema nekim navodima bili progonjena manjina u Rimskom crstvu.

The Romans fled, leaving behind the patrician Yarden, whom the Arabs killed. Some 4000 poor villagers of Palestine were killed there, Christians, Jews and Samaritans. The Arabs ravaged the whole region."
