The source, who spoke to the island, indicated that progress had been made towards the missile camp south of the capital, stressing the imposition of control over large parts of the residential area surrounding it.
He explained that Al-Wefaq forces have made progress in the mixers axis and that they are close to controlling the entire Al-Khala area, but that the proliferation of mines and artillery is hindering their progress.

A spokesman for the Sirte and Al-Jafra Operations and Insurance Operations Chamber announced that Al-Wefaq forces targeted a gathering of Haftar forces with heavy artillery in Al-Washeka area, east of Misrata, which resulted in deaths and injuries, and the destruction of vehicles.
Combat sorties

Kanounou added - in a written press briefing - that these strikes targeted a total of seven armed vehicles, an Emirati ammunition and armored vehicle, and that 12 members of Haftar's forces were neutralized.
The Al-Jazeera correspondent in Tripoli, Ahmed Khalifa, had reported earlier that the clashes on the ground between the two parties had receded in exchange for the intensification of the shelling with drones, Grad missiles or howitzers.

Enter the Emirates
Politically, Hamouda Siala, the Libyan Parliament Speaker in Tripoli, said he might understand some of the interventions in the Libyan issue based on national security concerns, but he does not understand why the UAE interferes in this regard and supports Haftar with money and equipment, pointing out that this interference is "unjustified and unethical."
