Ahmed al-Jazzar in Stolac in Bosnia, died 1804 in Acre, Damascus Wiliyah) was the Ottoman ruler of Acre and the Galilee from 1775 until his death. Jazzar Pasha was a Christian slave boy from Bosnia who, escaping after committing a murder, sold himself to the slave -markets of Istanbul. There he was bought by an Egyptian ruler who converted him to Islam and used him as his chief executioner and hit-man. He began his rise as governor of Cairo but made his name defending Beirut against Catherine the Great s navy. Beirut was honorably surrendered to the Russians after a long siege and the sultan rewarded al-Jazzar with promotion to Governor of Sidon, and sometimes also that of Damascus. He set up his capital in Acre after the fall of Dhaher al-Omar. He earned the nickname "the Butcher" for his cruelty and extortion of his subjects. He is reputed to have walked around with a mobile gallows in case anyone displeased him.
