Libyan National Accord government forces issued a final warning on Wednesday night to the forces of retired Major General Khalifa Hifter, and all those who took up arms at Al-Wattia Air Force Base, southwest from the capital Tripoli.
A statement released by the media center for “wrath of the volcano”, which is affiliated with internationally recognized government forces, on its Facebook page, “The war criminal Haftar and his children do not deceive you … and do not listen their delusions. “
It revealed that the air force continues 24 hours to conduct reconnaissance flights in al-Qaeda’s sky.
He indicated that he is monitoring all roads leading to the air base and will target any attempted infiltration or supply or any mechanism that attempts to go to it.
The statement noted that government forces are “fully determined to extend state control over Al-Wattia airbase and all of Libya.”
Since the beginning of May, the Al-Wefaq government Air Force has launched 57 raids targeting Haftar positions at the Al-Wattia base, according to data released by the “Volcano of Wrath”.
And in late April, the Libyan government considered “Al-Wattia” to be the most dangerous base used by the rebels in their attack on the capital, and the countries that supported Haftar worked to be an Emirati base, similar to the “servants’ base” in Marj (east).
And “patriotism”; The last major military position of Haftar’s forces, in the area from western Tripoli to the Tunisian border, and if not controlled by government forces, will always pose a great threat to cities on the west coast.
The danger from al-Watiyah Air Base lies in its naturally fortified location, which was built by the Americans during World War II (1939-1945) in an area far from population centers, and the closest inhabited area is 25 km.
Since April 4, 2019, Haftar’s forces, backed by regional and European countries, have carried out a deadly attack to seize the capital, Tripoli, the seat of government.
