Forces loyal to rogue Libyan general Khalifa Haftar clashed yesterday with militias in the eastern city of Benghazi, killing eight people and wounding 15, military and medical sources said.
The clashes were among the fiercest since Khalifa began his offensive against radical groups in Benghazi, dubbed “Operation Dignity,” on May 16, when at least 76 people were killed.
Sunday´s fighting left at least five people dead and 12 wounded, according to the Al-Abyar hospital southwest of Benghazi, where Haftar´s forces are treated.
Militias in Benghazi rarely reveal their dead and wounded, but on Sunday two of them were killed and several wounded in an air raid on the headquarters of the Al-Rafallah Sahati group, one of its commanders told the media.
