King Abdulaziz began implementing a plan to dig a tunnel leading to Al-Masmak Palace, but he stopped after he received news of the negative News of the adverse developments that occurred in the Battle of Al-Sarif, and the defeat of Sheikh Mubarak's army, which forced him to lift the siege of Al-Masmak Palace and leave Riyadh.
