The Battle of Al-Rahiba was a military engagement between the Senussi order led by Omar al-Mukhtar and the Italians.

After the battles the Senussis had in Jabal al Akhdar led by Omar al-Mukhtar in January 1927, the Senussis then went to Jabal al Ubaid territories, as it provided a place for gatherings and reorganizing their forces in these fertile lands.

As the march continued, more attacks increased until they arrived at Al-Rahiba Depression, where they fought with the Senussis.

The Italians succeeded in capturing some high positions; however, the Senussis counter-attacked in front while also surrounding them.
