Operation Dignity warplanes bomb Fatayeh district in Derna
Local sources reported Tuesday heavy bombing by Khalifa Haftar’s Operation Dignity warplanes on in eastern Derna’s Fatayeh district.
“The airstrikes targeted houses and farms for civilians living in the IS-freed district.” The sources added.
They also explained that Haftar’s targeting of the district is, in essence, to force civilians out of it and then be able to control it.
On Monday, clashes between Derna Shura Council fighters and Operation Dignity took place in the district and no casualties were reported.
