The Battle of Tripoli Airport was a major event that took place during the Second Libyan Civil War. It began on 13 July 2014 as part of a series of operations dubbed "Libya Dawn" or " فجر ليبيا" by a coalition of Islamist militias whom led a coup d'état operation against the House of Representatives (Libya) due to the 2014 Libyan parliamentary election and a series of operations to recapture the Airport and political institutions to wrest control over the capital of Tripoli. The battle ended in August 2014 with the capture of the Airport and ultimately its destruction. The battle was fought between an Islamist New General National Congress and the Zintani brigades.
