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.

Palestinians have gathered for weekly Muslim prayers in the ruins of mosques in the Gaza Strip that were destroyed by Israeli strikes.

The prayers were held on the first Friday since a ceasefire went into effect that is aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas war and bringing about the release of dozens of hostages and hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned or detained by Israel.

Dozens of worshippers gathered amidst the crumbled walls and drooping ceiling of a mosque in the southern city of Khan Younis, while others prayed outside.

In the urban Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, children climbed on the destroyed minaret of a mosque.

Israel’s 15-month military campaign, launched after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack, caused vast destruction across Gaza.

Israel blames the devastation on Hamas because the fighters operate in dense, residential areas. Over the course of the war, the military released photos and video showing the placement of tunnels and other militant infrastructure near homes, mosques and schools.

The Palestinian Authority says more than 800 mosques were completely destroyed and more than 150 were damaged.
