🇵🇸 Black September
Refers to the conflict that was fought between the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), under the leadership of Yasser Arafat, and the Jordanian Armed Forces, under the leadership of King Hussein primarily between 16 and 27 September 1970, with certain actions continuing until July 1971.
On 1 September 1970, there were several failed attempts to assassinate the king. On 7 September, in the series of Dawson's Field hijackings, three planes were hijacked by the PFLP: SwissAir and TWA jets that were landed in Jordan's Azraq area, and a Pan Am jet that was flown to Cairo. On 9 September, a BOAC flight from Bahrain was hijacked to Zarqa. The PFLP announced that the hijackings were intended "to bring special attention to the Palestinian problem". After all hostages were removed, the planes were dramatically blown up in front of TV cameras. Directly confronting and angering the King, the rebels declared the Irbid area a "liberated region.
The civil war determined if Jordan would be ruled by the Palestine Liberation Organisation or the Hashemite monarchy. The war resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, the vast majority Palestinian. Armed conflict ended with the expulsion of the PLO leadership and thousands of Palestinian fighters to Lebanon.

🇵🇸 Pakistan Role in Black September General Zia Ul Haq In 1970 Massacre
it is obvious that to crush Palestinians under Jordanian General was impossible. Jordanian Generals in command of the forces would not have allowed that.
Since King of Jordan could not have trusted Jordanian Generals or commanders for such operation, Zia-ul-Haq was chosen for the job. Black September operation started on 16th September.
Then the head of Pakistani training mission to Jordan, Brigadier Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, took command of the 2nd division.
The 2nd Division helped kill and cleanse the Palestinians (est. 25,000 dead) from Jordan.
Zia was stationed in Jordan since 1967 to 1970, as a Brigadier and helped in training and organizing Jordan forces and played a pivotal role in Black September Operation while leading 2nd Division of Jordan Army, which in turn proved crucial for King Hussein remaining in power.
