2017-07-23
[Libya Observer] Dignity Operation MiG23 warplanes conducted an Arclight airstrike on Hajaj heights district on the east coast of Derna in eastern Libya.

The Arclight airstrike led to material damage in people's properties as the bombs hit an area nearby residential areas. No casualties were reported, local sources from Derna said.

A delegation from the High Council of National Reconciliation announced that it had delayed a visit to Derna after Haftar told them to do so to leave a space for holding a meeting between Dignity Operation and Derna Shura Council to review the conditions for a truce.

However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
later after that, the delegation was assaulted by pro-Haftar gang as they were in an al-Bayda hotel, which obliged the delegates to leave to Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
Meanwhile,
...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe.
The window was looking better all the time....

the front man of Derna Shura Council, Mohammed al-Mansouri, denied the news circulated on media outlets about the communication between them and pro-Dignity Operation military and political parties in order to disband the council and surrender its fighters and their weapons.

"That news is untrue and is being promoted by proDignity Operation parties for different intentions." al-Mansouri remarked.

Earlier, the House of Representatives' member, Khairallah al-Turkawi, said Derna Shura Council fighters have collapsed and are willing to surrender themselves and their weapons to Dignity Operation, which has been laying a tightened siege on the city for about two years.
