...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...
, between the forces of the Government of National Accord (GNA) and the forces of the General Command (LNA).

The front man for the GNA's 'Volcano of Anger' operation, Mustafa al-Maji, tells Alwasats: " Our forces are making significant progress are working to control the area," explaining that the forces took control of vital facilities such as the local hospital and the Institute of Aviation in downtown.
"Volcano of Anger, formerly known as Pustule of Pestilence"
He stressed that his forces are advancing cautiously because there are residential neighborhoods in the region.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels...
the Media Center for the Karama Operations Room of the LNA, said on its Facebook page that the General Command forces repelled an attack by GNA forces attempting "to advance towards al-Sabiah and causing them losses in equipment and personnel."
