The well planned, and co-ordinated operation to triple envelop the LNA ground forces continues. LNA has pulled back from all forward postions north of Yarmouk Camp, abandoning the key Hamza and Tikbali Camps to avoid encirclement. The enemy is simultaneously attacking from Ayn Zara district southwards and Ramla eastwards cutting off LNA forces in Ben Ghashir (and Tripoli Airport) and Wadi Rabi’a Road. The third main and decisive operation is the envelopment of Tarhuna via Gharyan eastwards and twin assaults from Qasr Garabuli and Khoms-Msallatah axes on the north east which, if successful would be a major, maybe terminal, defeat for the Libyan resistance to the Ottomans . Yet again, just as in Northern Syria – n. Raqqa, Aleppo, Afrin, n.Idlib the extent and capability of the Turkish aggression has been underestimated until it is too late. Make no mistake, the Ottoman Sultan and the traitor Quisling regime run by Sarraj Effendi the Bey of Tripoli will progress this war to the full . Not a day passes without massive expansion and re-inforcements (just like Idlib!) deploying , naval, airpower, armor, troops etc.. As a NATO power Turkey knows it is safe from any serious (real) opposition from outside , no matter the protestations from Greece or Egypt or whoever. Libya will be left alone to fight the invader.
