Late March 2011 Libyan rebel offensive From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Date 26 March 2011 – 30 March 2011 Location Coast of the Gulf of Sidra, Libya Result Pro-Gaddafi victory • Rebel advance repelled Belligerents Anti-Gaddafists Libyan People's Army Commanders and leaders Gaddafi Loyalists Libyan Army Paramilitary forces Foreign mercenaries Khalifa Belqasim Haftar [1] Al-Saadi al-Gaddafi [2] Strength 1,000+ Saadi Brigade Casualties and losses At least 7 killed [3] At least 7 killed [4] The Late March 2011 Libyan rebel offensive was mounted by Anti-Gaddafi forces after the Battle of Ajdabiya. The offensive was meant to have the rebel forces quickly reach Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte. The rebels managed to take almost 300 kilometers of territory in just two days. However, by day three into the rebel advance, loyalist troops stopped the opposition forces and the rebels were in full retreat back to their starting positions. The Offensive Rebels capture oil towns and reach western Libya After loyalist forces lost the Battle of Ajdabiya on 26 March, rebels immediately pressed their momentum and took the oil town of Brega without a fight. [5][6] The next day, on 27 March, opposition forces reached the even bigger oil town of Ra's Lanuf and too had fallen without a shot being fired as loyalist forces had earlier retreated to Sirte following Coalition air-strikes. [7][8] By the end of the day, rebels entered Bin Jawad, 150 kilometers east of Sirte, unopposed and captured the town. Pro-Gaddafi forces had retreat for over 300km (190 miles) to defensive positions between Sirte and Bin Jawad in just two days. [9][7] Skirmishes along the road to Sirte On 28 March, rebel forces advanced further west toward Sirte and took the town of Nawfaliya. After securing Nawfaliya, they continued westwards to the village of Harawah. There they tried to negotiate with the tribal leaders for the locals to join their uprising. However, the civilians in the village attacked the rebels with automatic weapons and the opposition was forced to withdraw from Harawah. At the same time, the long rebel coloumn, coming from Bin Jawad, was ambushed a number of times on the highway and loyalists managed to flank the rebels and attack them from the rear. This forced the opposition forces to withdraw back to Nawfaliya, 120km (75 miles) from Sirte. Some of them even retreated back to Bin Jawad. [10] Counteroffensive by pro-Gaddafi forces On 29 March, pro-Gaddafi forces intensified attacks on Libyan rebels, forcing them to abandon Bin Jawad. The rebels first retreated from Nawfaliya to Bin Jawad, some 30km further east. Later intense fighting over Bin
Jawad was reported, including artillery duels, before the rebels fled in hundreds of vehicles towards Ra's Lanuf. [11] The opposition's military commanders suggested that lack of discipline and stretched supply lines are partly to blame for the retreat. [12] Later during the day, pro-Gaddafi forces advanced to 20km away from Ra's Lanuf and began shelling the town with artillery and mortars, forcing the rebels to retreat further east. [12] On 30 March, loyalist forces recaptured the oil refinery town of Ras Lanuf forcing rebels to retreat further to the east. [13][14][15] The coalition then began launching air-strikes against Gaddafi's forces around Ras Lanuf and on the road to Uqayla. Reporters on the ground blamed a sandstorm and low visibility from the air for the lack of air-strikes the previous day. [16] Later during the day, rebels were pulling out of Brega to Ajdabiyah. [17] In the evening, the BBC reported that Brega was in control of pro-Gaddafi forces and they were approaching Ajdabiya. [18][19] A CNN corespondent in Ajdabiya reported that rebels were "massing outside Ajdabiya for a counter-offensive".
