The Administration of Health Services of Libyan Ministry of Martyrs and Missing Persons Affairs said it had opened a special department in Mitiga Hospital in order to receive the injured fighters of Al-Bunyan AL-Marsoos.

The Hospital administration confirmed that the department will be specialized in surgery and intensive care and has been opened in cooperation with the Crisis Team in Tripoli aiming at alleviating the burden that Misrata Central Hospital is shouldering along with the field hospitals, which host the wounded fighters of Al-Bunyan Al-Marsoos.

The media bureau of Al-Bunyan Al-Marsoos military operation said Friday it had advanced into Ouagadougou Conference Halls, Ibn Sina Hospital, and Al-Jeeza Military Zone in Sirte, where Is militants are holing up as their last hideouts in the city, pointing out that the Misrata-led forces did not position themselves in those locations as there is still some resistance and because they remain a clear target for IS snipers.

Libya's Fatwa House issued a statement Saturday decrying the failed coup attempt in Turkey, which it said was carried out by a number of oppressing coup plotters, who were backed up by a number of misleading media outlets (such as Saudi Arabia-based Al-Arabiya TV). The Libyan Fatwa House congratulated the Muslim Turkish government and people, who are true supporters of justice and freedom in all Muslim countries, for thwarting such an attempt.

The member of the political dialogue, Nouri Al-Abbar, said on Facebook that the statement made by the UN envoy to Libya, Martin Kobler, rewarding the formation of three military councils is no more than a stark intention to split the country, which won’t pass unnoticed and unprotested.
 
When in Cairo last week, Kobler dropped a hint at possible decentralization of the Libyan army to make it under the leadership of three separate military councils in an attempt to make Khalifa Haftar content as he suggested that Haftar should remain as a symbolic commander for the proposed three armies.
