Operation "Anger Volcano" announced the control of the Al-Wefaq government forces on a major supply line along a length of 350 km, between southern and western Libya, while the United Nations called for a speedy and transparent investigation into the discovery of eight mass graves, most of them in Tarhuna, southeast of Tripoli.
According to the Operation Volcano Anger, this line was used by the forces of retired Major General Khalifa Haftar for a year, as a major supply line to support its attack on the capital Tripoli with mercenaries, weapons, ammunition, and fuel.
This line extends from the Arban region, south of Tripoli, to the Shweref area, which links Tripoli to the city of Sebha in the south of Libya.
In a related development, Al-Jazeera correspondent quoted a military source in Al-Wefaq government forces as saying that Al-Wefaq forces have repositioned them along the frontline in the axes of Al-Nahr Road and Al-Bahar Road west of Sirte.
The source added that the confrontation fronts with Haftar forces are witnessing a cautious calm, and that reinforcements for the forces of the Al-Wefaq government have arrived to support the central military region.
This comes in conjunction with a meeting held by the President of the Presidential Council of the National Accord Government, Fayez al-Sarraj, and in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Al-Wefaq Army, with his deputy Ahmed Motaik, the Minister of Interior Fathi Pashaga, the commanders of the western military regions, Tripoli, and the Central, and the commander of the Sirte-Jafra operations room.
A statement of Operation Berkane Fury said that the OS meeting discussed the progress of the military operations and the measures taken to protect civilians and private and public facilities. He also discussed a review of the overall situation in the liberated areas and cities and the security arrangements adopted therein.
This is the second high-level military meeting Al-Sarraj will hold in a week with the military leaders, as he held a meeting on Saturday to discuss developments in the field situation, after successive victories over the militia of Haftar.
The Al-Wefaq forces had recently managed to completely control the capital, Tripoli, from Haftar’s forces, and then Tarhuna and Bani Walid (180 km southeast of Tripoli).
On Saturday, Al-Wefaq forces announced the launch of Operation "Paths of Victory", to control the cities and towns of eastern and central Libya, led by Sirte, the coastal city and Jafra.
