2 Maccabees 12:8-10

8 He learned that the people of Jamnia were also planning to finish off the Jews living among them in the same way.

9 So Judas mounted a night attack against Jamnia and set its harbor and fleet on fire, so that the gleams of light shone in Jerusalem twenty-eight miles away.

10 When Judas withdrew about a mile away from Jamnia, in pursuit of Timothy, Arabs attacked him with no fewer than five thousand men and five hundred cavalry.
