Abdul Fatah Younis Belligerents Gaddafi Loyalists Military of Libya Paramilitary forces Commanders and leaders Unknown Strength 500-1,000 [2] 1,500 [3] Casualties and losses 12 [4] -60 [5] killed, 700 missing (unconfirmed), [6] 60 wounded [7] at least 1 killed [8] 1 helicopter shot down [9] The Battle of Bin Jawad was a battle between forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and the Libyan opposition for control of the town of Bin Jawad. On 5 March 2011, following the Battle of Ra's Lanuf, rebel forces advanced along the Mediterranean coast and captured the town of Bin Jawad. They stopped during the night in the hamlet and planned to continue on to Sirte in the morning. [10][11] During the evening, the opposition forces pulled back to Ra's Lanuf so they could prepare to continue their push to the west. [12] On the morning of 6 March, the rebels were on the move again and were passing through Bin Jawad, when they have realized that loyalist forces have entered the town the previous night and took up positions in houses and on rooftops in preparation for an ambush. Government troops opened fire on the rebels with machine guns and RPG's and the opposition forces were soon in full retreat toward Ra's Lanuf. During the chaos, about 50 rebel fighters were left behind and trapped inside a Bin Jawad mosque. An opposition force in 20 pickup trucks tried to surge back into the city and rescue them, but was hit by artillery fire and one truck was destroyed. The rest of the convoy quickly retreated back to the edges of the town. [13] Gaddafi's forces had retaken Bin Jawad. [14] As the rebels were retreating east of Bin Jawad, they were hit by helicopter and air strikes. After getting a chance to regroup, rebels moved up several multiple-rocket launchers from Ra's Lanuf and fired toward Bin Jawad. However, loyalist troops had also pulled up their heavy weapons and an artillery duel followed. [15] The new rebel frontline was established three kilometers east of the town. [16] During the fighting, one military helicopter was reported to have been shot down by the rebels and crashed in the sea. [17][18] Meanwhile in Ra's Lanuf, loyalist air strikes hit the air base, held by the rebels. At least two people were killed and 40 wounded. [19] By the morning of 7 March, the BBC reported that the town was under the control of government forces and they were advancing on Ra's Lanuf. [20] On 9 March, the rebels attempted to move against Bin Jawad once more. However, after firing off around 50 rockets and making some advances, they were hit by artillery and air strikes and retreated to Ra's Lanuf. [21][22] According to the rebels, at least 50-60 fighters were killed in the initial fighting on 6 March, and, per one fighter, another 700 were reportedly missing after what was described by the opposition as a "massacre" of rebel fighters. [23]
Aftermath The Battle of Bin Jawad marked the end of the initial rebel offensive. Proving to be the high-water mark of the rebel offensive, it marked the end of the rebel advance westward at the time, and opened the way for a government counter-offensive that took pro-Gaddafi forces as far as the gates of Benghazi, before being pushed back by UN intervention.On 27 March, rebels entered Bin Jawad after coalition air-strikes on tanks positioned there, and managed to recapture the town. [24][25] However, on 29 March, they retreated once again under heavy artillery fire from loyalist forces.
