The article provides a map showing developments and also states:
“The Libyan National Army (LNA) continued its advance on the Libyan capital of Tripoli, which is controlled by forces of the Government of National Accord (GNA)”
The article also gives the following 5 points – I assigned numbers 1 to 5:
[1] GNA forces captured the area of Sabiya; [2] GNA forces kept control of the al-Yarmouk camp area; [3] LNA warplanes carried out strikes on the al-Yarmouk camp; [4] GNA forces captured the areas of Sabi’ah and Soq al Sabt; [5] Heavy clashes continue in Killat al Furjan. The LNA made several gains.
Note that point 1 is redundant with point 4 – Sabiya is a variant name for the Sabi’ah area
It seems the GNA is the one that is advancing successfully, not the LNA. The map shows the GNA advancing in a manner that if there is further advances by the GNA, the main LNA force could be cut-off. This danger to the LNA is paramount yet no mention in the article, not to mention the article title which is not supported.
From tripoli , what you are saying 100% truth
GNA claims not confirmed. My info at 1300 local was GNA had not moved east of Isbi ‘áh and Suq as-Sabt was some 8 000 meters east of their forward positions – to take that area GNA would have to advance past the LNA defenses at Tripoli Int. Waiting for drone coverage.
