[ALMARSAD.CO] Major General al-Mabrouk al-Ghazwi said in a special statement to Al Marsad that ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish ~~Arclight~~ airstrike

s mistakenly targeted 7 fuel tanks (diesel, gasoline, and kerosene) owned by smugglers after they exited al-Zawiya Refinery passing through al-Jabal al-Gharbi to Daraj-Qurrayat road. "As stated by the Libyan Oil Corporation, smugglers control the refinery under the pretext of protecting it," said al-Ghazwi.

He added that the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish drones targeted the tanks on a dirt road used by smugglers in a remote desert area west of Qurayyat, indicating that the preliminary data showed they were heading to join smugglers in the south and not to Tarhouna.

"The ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish bombing of the smugglers’ trucks working under the name of Fayez al-Sarraj militias by mistake, in addition to the previous bombing of egg and water tanks, testifies to the randomness of their work and their inability to distinguish between their friends and enemies on the ground or the military and the civilian. This is clear evidence of the control b the Turks of the Operation Room where they select the targets. Otherwise, their Libyan agents would have informed them that the trucks were friendly and were heading to their smuggler revolutionaries and are not hostile"

Al-Ghazwi pointed out that the smuggling gangs, especially in al-Zawiya, are completely affiliated with the Government of National Accord (GNA) and are working closely through their militias which helped the GNA regain control of Sabratha and Surman with the full support of the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish air force, which is still supporting them in the vicinity of al-Watiyah Airbase. "These smugglers criminals include al-Qasab, Bija, and others," said the Commander of the Western Region Operations Group.

#2 In Mid-February 2020: The Libya National Oil Corp. announced that production of crude fell to 183 thousand and 265 barrels per day by February 11. Libya production has declined sharply since January 18 due to the closure of ports and fields by groups loyal to General Khalifa Haftar. Total losses resulting from the closure amounted to more than $ 1.3 billion. It renewed calls to end “irresponsible and illegal closings of its facilities" and the need to resume production immediately.” The Central Bank of Libya in Tripoli announced that oil revenues during the past January were zero; it called for a concerted efforts to return oil production/export at once.
