1187 (ish) battles???

Other than the battles of Hattin and Cresson, and the capture of Jerusalem and Acre (I think) in 1187, what other battles occured in that year (or say between 1186 and 1188?)

1186: (The one that started it all…or so they say) Reynald of Chatillon breaks a truce with Saladin by attacking a Muslim caravan and taking several prisoners, including a rumor of the sister of Saladin. This infuriates the Muslim leader who vows to kill Reynald with his own hands.

1187: Possible small exchanges of local rearguard forces and Saladin’s armies at Tyre (remains a beachhead for the Franks), Acre, Nablus, Jaffa, Toron, Sidon, Beirut, and Ascalon.
Romans 13:4 - For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
