The Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) is preparing to attack positions of the Libyan National Army (LNA) forces, led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, on various fighting fronts, said LNA Spokesman Major General Ahmed al-Mismari.
In a statement on Sunday evening, Mesmari said “Fayez al-Sarraj’s terrorist and criminal militias, supported by mercenaries sent by Turkey, have been mobilizing to launch a massive attack on all LNA forces’ positions.”
This has been affirmed by LNA's reconnaissance units after collecting and analyzing data.
Mesmari didn’t reveal any further details, nor did he clarify the nature of the countermeasures LNA forces plan to take.
The attack would end the fragile truce that has been concluded under the auspices of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya between the two parties in January.
Meanwhile, Media center of LNA's Dignity Operations Room has announced the death of commander of Sarraj’s Salaheddine forces, noting that a number of militia elements have fled the area.
In other news, Volcano of Rage Operation, launched by militias loyal to the GNA, announced the death of two people and the injury of five others in an attack it said was launched by LNA forces.
It republished photos distributed by the Field Medicine Center, showing part of what it described as the damage left by the rockets targeting civilian homes in the Arada region.
It also quoted a GNA spokesman as saying that its forces have dealt carefully with the attacks launched by LNA forces against populated areas south of Tripoli.
An official from the GNA’s Health Ministry told Xinhua that “two civilians, a man and a woman, were killed by indiscriminate shelling against the Municipality of Souk El-Jumaa” in Tripoli.
According to the official, five civilians were injured due to the shelling, which also targeted homes of civilians and a school in the area.
