The number of fatalities in the war was hundreds of killed and thousands of injured. The actual total number of fatalities is at least 1,392.[1]

Aftermath

Following the successful takeover over the Kingdom of Hejaz, Abdulaziz Ibn Saud was declared as King of Hejaz. The Kingdom was later incorporated into the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz, with Ibn Saud being the king of both in political union.

King Hussien o Hejaz fled to Cyprus, declaring his son Ali bin Hussien as the King of Hejaz, but effectively with the fall of the Kingdom the dynasty ended up in an exile. Hashemites however remained to rule the emirate of Transjordan and the Kingdom of Iraq.
