Operation Dharab took place during the Dhofar War in which a revolutionary movement sought to overthrow the Sultanate of Oman. It was a hastily planned and executed operation by a battalion of the Sultan's Armed Forces to capture a Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman (PFLO) logistical base located in a complex of caves at Sherishitti, near the village of Rakhyut on the southern coast of the province of Dhofar. Due to a confused start of the operation and the difficulties of navigating through thick scrub, a comany leading the SAF battalion involved blundered into an ambush in a prepared "killing ground" near the the cave complex and suffered heavy casualties.
