National Transitional Council Gaddafi Loyalists The Second Battle of Bin Jawad took place during the Libyan Civil War between forces loyal to former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and those loyal to the National Transitional Council for control of the small town of Bin Jawad.

NTC forces managed to advance to the outskirts of Bin Jawad on 23 August after retaking Brega and Ra's Lanuf the previous day, but were unable to progress further due to heavy loyalist resistance in the area.

[2] On 24 August, a heavy loyalist artillery bombardment caused the rebels to retreat 20 km from Bin Jawad to Sidra.

Twenty rebel fighters died in the clashes, with an undetermined number of loyalist casualties.

[4] The next day, forces loyal to the NTC pulled back to Ra's Lanuf out of loyalist artillery range, and prepared for another advance along the coast towards Bin Jawad and their ultimate objective, Sirte.
