After Tripoli requested military support from Ankara ... the Al-Wefaq government accuses foreign airlines of bombing Misrata

The Libyan national reconciliation government said that foreign aircraft launched raids Thursday evening against targets in the western city of Misurata, shortly after the government decided to activate the military and security memorandum of understanding with Turkey, and accept Ankara's specific support for its forces.

Mustafa al-Mujai, a spokesman for the media center for the "volcano anger" of the government, said that foreign warplanes - whose identity has not been established - launched strikes on old military installations in the city of Misurata, including the air defense camp and the Hattin Battalion camp.

Al-Mujai added that no casualties were recorded as a result of the bombing, indicating that the attack coincided with the flight of the aircraft flying over the city.

The Presidential Council of the Al-Wefaq government stated that the forces of retired Major General Khalifa Haftar are "desperate and unable to make any progress," adding that "the bets of Haftar's supporters will fail in the face of the bravery of the army and auxiliary forces," in reference to Egypt, the UAE and other countries supporting the Haftar forces that control large areas Eastern and southern Libya.

Turkish support
The bombing of Misrata, whose forces are the largest military supporter of the internationally recognized Al-Wefaq government, came shortly after the government announced its ratification of a request for technical and logistical support from Turkey, based on the memorandum of understanding signed by the two parties last month.

Al-Jazeera correspondent in Tripoli, Mahmoud Abdel Wahed said that what happened means that the reconciliation government decided to activate the military and security agreement with Turkey, including accepting the offer of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to send advanced forces and weapons to Libya.

The correspondent added that the government also sent a request to Italy, Britain and the United States to provide logistical support to the Al-Wefaq government, stressing that it is the only Libyan institution authorized to import weapons into Libya, especially since there is a arms embargo resolution issued by the Security Council in 2011.

Haftar forces have launched an offensive since April 4 in order to control the capital, the headquarters of the Al-Wefaq government, but the government forces responded to the attack.

Zero hours
The retired Major General announced several times in the past months, zero hours, to start a decisive attack to control Tripoli, the last of which was a few days ago, but the field situation did not change in light of the continuing clashes between Haftar forces and Al-Wefaq government forces in the southern areas of Tripoli.

The Haftar attack in April aborted the efforts made by the United Nations to hold a dialogue conference between Libyans as part of a road map approved by the international organization to address the Libyan crisis that has persisted since 2011.

In a related context, the UN Support Mission in Libya said Thursday evening that it regrets the recent developments and the escalating military escalation in the country, by exchanging treason and endangering Libya's unity.

In a statement published on its official Facebook page, the mission stressed the imperative of a political solution to the crisis in the country.

International position
In its statement, the United Nations confirmed that it is "moving forward with its determined endeavor to restore the fractured international position towards Libya, and to urge the Libyans to return to the negotiating table in order to inject fine blood, stop the fighting, and stop the further depression of secure civilians."

Germany is seeking - with international support - to bring together countries concerned with Libyan affairs at an international conference in the capital, Berlin, in an attempt to find a political solution to the crisis of political and military division in Libya between a recognized government and Haftar forces backed by the Tobruk parliament and Arab and European countries.
