(MISRATA) Libyan forces fighting to free the city of Sirte
from ISIS have surrounded a conference hall in the area still held by the terrorists
after air strikes and clashes that killed at least three pro-government
fighters.
Forces allied with Libya’s unity government began a campaign
two months ago to free Sirte from ISIS, after they took advantage of fighting
between rival factions to gain territory and control the coastal city last
year. Three fighters were killed and more than 30 injured during fighting on
Friday after ISIS were driven out of the residential 700 district in fierce
clashes involving rockets, mortars and gun battles.
Ramadan death toll is now at 8,338
