Damaged vehicles are seen at Tripoli's Mitiga airport after it was hit by shelling in Tripoli, Libya May 10, 2020.A withering bombardment shook Tripoli on Sunday as the eastern-based forces of Khalifa Haftar fought overnight for new territory in the southern suburbs after losing ground recently around the city.
Haftar’s Libyan National Army has been trying to capture Tripoli for 13 months, but Turkish military aid this year for the internationally recognized Government of National Accord has helped it regain some ground. They have also made two attempts to seize the LNA’s strategic al-Watiya airbase, but have been repelled, and have moved toward the LNA’s main northwestern stronghold of Tarhouna.
LNA spokesman Ahmed al-Mismari told Reuters on Sunday that it was targeting the airport because Turkey was using it as a military base, something the GNA has denied.
I bet someone from the liberal media will blame this on covid 19 🤣🤣
