Terbouba is a town in Tunisia, located about 20 miles (30 km) from the capital Tunis. Terbourba was the location of a battle in the Tunisia campaign of the Second World War, lasting from November 29 until December 4, 1942. The battle involved the troops of the US and British armies against the German army.
The British and Americans held the town for several days until it fell to the Germans on December 4.
