Shells launched from a rebel-held position on a residential area in Benghazi on Tuesday killed several people, a military spokesman loyal to Khalifa Hafter told media. The shelling came from a terrorist-controlled position, according to Fadel al-Hassi, a spokesman for Dignity Operation, led by Marshal Khalifa Hafter. At least five civilians reportedly from Egypt, Libya and Sudan died in the shelling. Haftar launched two years ago Dignity Operation in Benghazi to clear the city of terrorists and other rebels opposed to him. Reports say Tuesday shelling was the work of Benghazi Revolutionaries’ Shoura Council in retaliation to intensive bombardment by Khalifa Haftar’s airpower supported by foreign war planes.
