The siege of Derna was a military campaign by the Libyan National Army (LNA) to capture the city of Derna, which began after the end of the Derna campaign (2014–16). After besieging the city for 21 months, the LNA assaulted the city on 7 May 2018, beginning the 2018–2019 battle of Derna and ultimately capturing the city on 12 February 2019.
The siege itself was criticized by the National Commission for Human Rights in Libya as a war crime,[5] as well as by the Government of National Accord.[6]
