The 1989 Battle of Amgala took place on 8 November 1989, when two POLISARIO mechanized columns launched a massive attack against Moroccan troops in the Amgala region, managing to cross the Moroccan Wall and advance twenty kilometers in direction to Smara, to finally retreat to their positions in the Liberated territories.
It was the last military operation of the Western Sahara War until Operation Rattle in 1991.
