Armed clashes erupted early on Friday between the Stability Support Force (SSF) affiliated with the Presidential Council, and the 444th Combat Brigade affiliated with the Chief of Staff of the Government of National Unity (GNU).
Members of the 444th Brigade stated that they were able to keep control Al-Takbali Camp in the Salah Al-Din area, southern Tripoli, after the SSF attempted to take control of the camp.
They added that they had captured a number of SSF members, in addition to looting cars from the attacking force. Pictures and video clips published online showed handcuffed SSF members that were arrested after the clashes.
Explosions and heavy shootings were heard in the vicinity of the Al-Takbali camp in the Salah Al-Din area.
Last Friday violent armed clashes erupted, at dawn, between the Al-Far militia and the SSF.
The clashes resulted in the injury of four fighters and the destruction of a number of vehicles. It was reported that medium and heavy weapons were used in these clashes, as videos circulating on social media showed the firing of grenades and rocket-propelled grenades (RPG) from both sides.
