The Battle of Derna was a military campaign by the Libyan National Army to recapture the city of Derna from the Shura Council of Mujahideen in Derna, which lasted from 7 May 2018[35] until 12 February 2019.[13] The majority of military operations concluded by 28 June 2018, with the Libyan National Army declaring control of the entire city on that day, despite continued clashes in the old city.[36] During the early stages of the battle, the Shura Council was dissolved and replaced with the Derna Protection Force,[6] which continued operations after the LNA declared victory in June 2018,[37] before surrendering themselves at the end of the battle.[13]

Background edit

Main articles: Derna campaign (2014–2016) and Siege of Derna

On 5 October 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) took control of the city of Derna.[38] An uprising in June 2015 by the Shura Council of Mujahideen in Derna, however, resulted in their expulsion from large parts of the city.[39] Though clashes continued, ISIL had withdrawn by April 2016.[40] In August 2016, the Libyan National Army began a siege of the city,[41] which was tightened in 2017 following the Shura Council's execution of an air colonel whose plane was shot down near the town.[42] While being ruled by the Shura Council, Derna served as center for al-Qaeda militants, most notably Hesham Ashmawy's Al-Mourabitoun network[43][9] which regularly launched attacks against Egypt from Libya.[44]
