The War Information Division of the General Command of the Libyan Arab Armed Forces announced that they have controlled over the Kazirma and Al-Matar Bridge regions in southern Tripoli after 6 hour-fierce clashes with the militias of the Government of National Accord (GNA).

In a statement, the pision said that the LNA forces also thwarted an attack against their military units at Ain Zaara, Tripoli, confirming that the (GNA) militias and their affiliated Syrian mercenaries have inflicted heavy losses due to the foiled attack.

The statement confirmed the full readiness of the LNA military units to repel any kind of aggression against their territory.

The LNA has been attempting to enter Tripoli since April 2019 and succeeded to encircle the capital and Misrata this year as well as recovering Sirte from the militias.

Turkey has sent more than 10,000 Syrian mercenaries to Libya, as well as Turkish officers and military experts. It has been flying drones from Mitiga International Airport to attack the LNA forces as well but many of them were downed.

The Libyan Civil War is a bitter conflict between two sides: the Government of National Accord, which is internationally recognised by the UN and controls Tripoli and the city of Misrata - and the LNA, which is commanded by General Haftar and runs Benghazi and much of the oil-rich east.

Although the entire world is restricting aviation as a protective measure against COVID-19, Turkey still transports terrorists into Libya.

The LNA detected the arrival of 1,500 Syrian terrorists on a ship at Tripoli Port. Those were not tested for COVID-19.

On April 9, an Airbus 320 Libyan Airlines plane took off from Mitiga International Airport at 10:30 p.m. having around 150-160 passengers on board and landed in Istanbul.

On April 10, buses carrying terrorists entered Turkey from Syria, and then headed to Gaziantep where they were flown by a Turkish A40180 military jet to Istanbul, where the terrorists boarded the Libyan Airways Airbus plane that returned to Mitiga International Airport,
