Violent clashes broke out in the eastern quarters of Tripoli shortly after midnight on Thursday, causing panic among residents in crowded streets and parks on a hot summer night. Clashes continued until early Friday between two powerful factions in western Libya, the Deterrence Device and the Tripoli Revolutionary Brigade in the Ain Zara area, which is home to a large population of eastern Tripoli, before spreading to other areas. reported by local media.
