Short thread - Mass graves discovered recently in #Tarhuna. Since 2011, #Tarhuna has been the scene for some horrific crimes at the hands of a local armed group known as the Kaniyat.
1- Over the years, the Kaniyat formed a number of opportunistic alliances of convenience with various actors including: LIFG figures, Qaddafi loyalists, Misratan factions & their latest alliance with the LNA/#Haftar. #Libya
2- The discovery of the mass graves in #Tarhuna occurred after the fall of the city in the hands of the Turkish backed GNA forces. As with everything else in #Libya this horrific tragedy is being weaponized politically in the ongoing war of narratives by the conflict parties.

Watch the #GNA's Jihadists playing with the Mi-35 heavy attack helicopter of #Libya National Air Force which they captured in Abu Aisha Agricultural Aviation Airport in Southeast of #Tripoli oday. For sure this helicopter is now badly damaged & can't be repaired.
Here the Mi-35 with 856 serial number can be seen grounded in the hangar in Abu Aisha airport in southeast of #Tripoli when it was captured by the #GNA today. It was last seen operational in #Libya National Air Force service back in November 2019.
That's the newest helicopter in whole #Libya. AW.139 with 2902 serial number was delivered #Libyan Arab Air Force just few months before the revolution in 2010. It is now dumped in Abu Aisha airport together with a wrecked Police Agusa A-109Es & a Police AW.139. ImageImageImage

1/The GNA has managed to break through defences and capture the Al-Watiya airbase...a major victory for them & probably means the LNA will no longer be able to seriously threaten Tripoli

Thread - #Turkey stepping up its drone operations in #Libya inflicting some heavy losses on the LNA. Yesterday, a cargo plane was destroyed with a Turkish UAV strike after it landed in #Tarhuna. Eastern authorities claimed the cargo was carrying medical/food supplies to #Tarhuna.
1- In coordination with GNA, #Turkey is launching a 3-stage operation in #Tripoli. 1- cut-off LNA supply lines. 2- degrade LNA capabilities & in west #Libya & force its forces to retreat. 3- Increase Turkish military footprint in western #Libya including bases in Tripoli/Misrata.
2- LNA & external backers are intent on foiling #Turkey's plan i.e. will escalate. They see GNA/Turkey's recent escalation as a ground for a major escalation & use of excessive force on their part - this is tragic for civilians in #Tripoli. #Libya
