“Air strikes targeted a militia in Tripoli as rival armed groups from Misrata and Zintan battled for supremacy in Libya amid a worsening bout of violence. None of the militias had been thought to own warplanes, while the central government has only an outdated air force. The air attacks escalate a struggle between Islamist and more moderate forces as well as between militias from different cities all vying for power. Forces from Zintan had allied themselves with Haftar and stormed parliament in May, saying it had an Islamist agenda. Some Tripoli residents, tired of daily fighting disrupting power and food supplies, hope NATO will intervene in Libya.”
