A European aircraft flight tracking website has revealed an increased number of cargo flights from Turkey to western Libya.

Three military aircraft (Airbus A400M) landed in al-Watiya Air Base coming from Konya, according to Flightradar24, a Swedish internet-based service that shows real-time commercial aircraft flight tracking information on a map.

A Falcon 900DX affiliated with the Government of National Accord (GNA) took off from Tripoli's Mitiga airport to Turkey.

A Turkish military analyst said that a number of advanced Turkish attack helicopters were moved to al-Watiya base, adding that preparations are underway to transport six F-16.

Itamilradar, a website on military aircraft tracking in Italy and the Mediterranean, disclosed on Thursday movements of Turkish military transport aircraft above the central and eastern Mediterranean towards Libya.

The website noted that it tracked two Turkish Air Force flights between Misrata and Turkey, revealing that Ankara was still supplying the GNA with military support in spite of an agreement between rival factions for such activity to stop.

Israeli operations in the West Bank have killed at least 12 Palestinians since Tuesday, the United Nations Human Rights office spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan said on Friday.

"Our office has verified that at least 12 Palestinians have been killed and 40 injured by Israeli security forces since Tuesday, most of them reportedly unarmed," he told a televised briefing.

"We are also concerned by repeated comments from some Israeli officials about plans to expand settlements further still and a fresh breach of international law. We recall again that the transfer by Israel of its own civilian population into territories it occupies also amounts to a war crime."

Hundreds of Jenin residents left their homes on Thursday, prompted by messages from drones fitted with loudspeakers, witnesses said, as the military demolished a number of houses on the third day of a major operation in the West Bank city.
The operation, involving large columns of vehicles backed by helicopters and drones, was launched in the first week of a ceasefire in Gaza that saw the first exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails since a brief truce in November 2023.
Israeli officials said the Jenin operation was aimed at what the military said were Iranian-backed militant groups in the refugee camp adjacent to the city, a major hub for armed Palestinian groups for years.
