Battle of Bir Tabraz

The Battle of Bir Tabraz was fought in December 1911 during the Italo-Turkish War between the Kingdom of Italy and Senussi forces in a place near Tripoli in modern Libya, the Senussi successfully forced to Italians to withdraw.

Bir Tabraz was one of the most important positions the Senussi had near Tripoli after the Battle of Ain Zara happened on December 4.

[2][3] An expedition was launched led by General Fara with a force of 2,780[4][5] or 1,500 men[6] at 2-2:30 a.m. on December 19 and didn't reach that position until 9:00 a.m. after a long floundering on the way.

[9][10] The Italians attempted to march to some heights, but the Senussi prevented them and forced them to engage and attack from all sides.

This situation made it impossible for the enemy to retreat back to Ain Zara due to the success of the Senussi.
