The Battle of Jebel Moya was the 3-month battle over the strategically important area of Jebel Moya in the Sennar State during the Sudanese civil war. It saw the area be initially taken over by the RSF in June 2024 for around 3 months before it was recaptured by SAF in October of the same year. The recapture of Jebel Moya was the main reason of the start of SAF offensives in other areas in the state due to its strategic supply route.
