Al Jazeera's Hoda Hamid, reporting from Libya, says the National Transitional Council (NTC) fighters in the east of Sirte are regrouping for another push towards the city.
"They have reached the eastern gate on monday evening and had to pull back after intense clashes with Gaddafi loyalists.
"They say they are hoping to keep the momentum.
"Over the past few days, NTC fighters have advanced a good 40km towards Sirte but the closer they get, the tougher it gets."
