LIBYAN WAR REPORT – APR. 23, 2019: ‘FOREIGN POWER’ ALLEGEDLY SUPPORTS LNA ADVANCE WITH AIRSTRIKES Over the past few days, the Libyan National Army (LNA) has continued its attempts to lay siege on the city of Tripoli, which is controlled by the Government of National Accord (GNA). Employing the recently deployed reinforcements, the LNA made several small advances in the area of Ayn Zara and repelled a large GNA counter-attack in the Khaheli area. Fierce clashes have been ongoing in Tripoli International Airport and its vicinity. Pro-GNA forces are exploiting the control over the town of Sawani to pressure LNA positions in the nearby area. Both sides continued using its existing air forces to carry out strikes each against others. At the same time, both the LNA and the GNA accuse each other of causing civilian casualties with airstrikes.
