The Battle of Al-Regeai was the last significant military engagement in early Kuwaiti history, occurring on January 28, 1928. Sheikh Ali Al-Salem Al-Sabah led armed vehicles against Ikhwan raiders, marking the first use of such technology in Kuwait's warfare. His forces engaged the enemy until his capture and subsequent death, demonstrating his critical role and the battle's significance in Kuwaiti defence history.[4][5]
