The Second Battle of Amgala, also called Amgala II or Amgala 2, took place on 14 February 1976 in the Amgala Oasis in Western Sahara. It pitted the Moroccan troops, who lost Amgala, to the forces of the Sahrawi People's Liberation Army, the armed wing of the Polisario Front, supported by the Algerian army.[3] According to Maurice Barbier, the Moroccan garrison in the city was entirely decimated.[2]

Cette nouvelle tactique fut illustrée par la reprise d'Amgala dans la nuit du 14 au 15 février. L'opération fut menée par le seul Polisario sans participation de soldats algériens et elle anéantit la garnison marocain laissée à Amgala, faisant des dizaines de victimes. [This new tactic was illustrated by the revival of Amgala on the night of 14-15 February. The operation was carried out by the Polisario alone without the participation of Algerian soldiers and it destroyed the Moroccan garrison left in Amgala, causing dozens of casualties.]
