From November 2015 to 2019, the United States and allies carried out a large series of both airstrikes and drone strikes to intervene in Libya in its revived conflict in support of the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord against the ISIL presence in the region.[6] By 2019, the ISIL branch had been largely driven from holding Libyan territory, and US strikes ceased.[7]
