According to Al-Jazeera network Libya’s Government of National Accord (GNA) says it has captured the strategic Al-Watiya airbase from fighters loyal to commander Khalifa Haftar.
Military spokesman Mohamed Gnunu said in a Twitter post today that the forces of the Tripoli-based GNA had taken over the entirety of the base near the Tunisian border.
The announcement by the administration of Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj came after a month-long counteroffensive that has seen forces allied to it, drive Haftar’s forces and the self-proclaimed Libyan National Army (LNA) out of much of Libya’s western coast.
Analysts say the GNA’s capture of Al-Watiya, located some 25km from the Tunisia border, will allow its forces to fully focus on repelling Haftar’s fighters in southern Tripoli.
After a withdrawal of #LAAF-aligned forces, the capture of #Wutiya by #GNA-aligned forces is confirmed.
The base has been a strategic asset for #Haftar for over half a decade.
Though its capture is by & large symbolic militarily, strategically & morale-wise, it is significant. https://t.co/2uIMmtToOu pic.twitter.com/xbY1zpkWyv
