Deputy chief of the Presidential Council, Ali al-Qatrani announced his resignation and voiced his support for the Libyan National Army’s (LNA) operation on the capital Tripoli.

He said that Government of National Accord (GNA) head Fayez al-Sarraj was being “controlled” by militias and such action “will only lead Libya towards more suffering and division.”

In a statement, he hailed the LNA march on Tripoli that is aimed at ridding it of terrorist and criminal gangs.

Through the encouragement of these militias, Sarraj has violated the political agreement on Libya by abusing the privileges granted to him as head of the Presidential Council, Qatrani charged.

At least 12 people including children were killed overnight in Gaza by Israeli strikes, hospital workers said Wednesday.
The pre-dawn strikes hit three houses in the urban Nuseirat refugee camp, according to staff at the Al-Aqsa hospital, which received the bodies. Among the dead were three children, including two brothers whose bodies arrived in pieces, according to the hospital’s morgue.
Israel has carried out daily strikes on Gaza since ending its ceasefire with Hamas last month. It has cut off the territory’s 2 million Palestinians from all imports, including food and medicine, since the beginning of March in what it says is an attempt to pressure the militant group to release hostages.
The strikes come after more than two dozen people were killed earlier this week in Gaza City and Beit Lahiya.
Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza has killed more than 52,000 Palestinians, according to the territory's Health Ministry.
