Libyan Herald says
Zintan “air force” bombs Libya Dawn positions

Air strikes have been reported today in the Jebel Nafusa and near Bir Ghanem against Libya Dawn forces. According to a Zintan Operations Room spokesman who asked not to be named, aircraft under its control carried out the strikes. As well as Bir Ghanem, positions were hit in Hosh Al-Seteen near Gharian and Bu Sheiba, he said.

He claimed that the Zintanis had two aircraft, delivered in the past few days to the small airstrip outside the town. Until today, however, they could not be used because of a lack of aviation fuel. This had now been resolved, he explained.

In Tripoli yesterday, residents reported hearing a jet plane repeatedly circling overhead. The Hassi administration is reported to have said that it was an Egyptian or Emirati aircraft. However, the head of Operation Dignity’s air force in Benghazi, Saqr Adam Geroushi, yesterday told the Libya Herald that his forces had begun flying reconnaissance flights over the capital as well as other locations in the west ahead of a military operation to retake them.
