  2. A photo depicting armed horsemen in Middle Eastern military attire from the early 20th century. The scene shows several riders on horseback moving through an arid landscape with olive trees in the background. The lead figure on the black horse wears a tan/khaki military uniform with a traditional keffiyeh (head covering), and carries what appears to be a rifle. The group behind him also sports similar period military dress and headwear.
