The US Embassy in Libya asserted its commitment to ensuring a peaceful future for all Libyans, congratulating them on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.

“We send our warmest greetings to all those celebrating Eid al-Adha in Libya, the United States, and around the globe, and reaffirm the US commitment to a peaceful future for all Libyans,” the embassy tweeted.

Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh also congratulated Libyans on the occasion of the Eid. In a statement, he wished the country would enjoy security and its people would unite to advance towards prosperity and construction.

Meanwhile, the Turkish Ministry of Defense published photographs of Turkish military personnel training forces affiliated with the Libyan unity government within the framework of the army training, cooperation, and consultancy agreement.

The Turkish elements provided sniper training to Libyan soldiers, according to the statement.

In other news, the Man-Made River Authority (MMRA) reported that the water well in the southern field of the Al-Hasawna-Al-Jafara site had been vandalized.

The Authority indicated in a statement that the well has a daily production of more than 5,000 cubic meters.

It further underscored that such attacks put the entire system at risk, warning that many cities and agricultural projects will experience an interruption in water supplies if no action is taken.

Furthermore, the head of the Egyptian diplomatic mission in Tripoli, ambassador Mohamed Tharwat Selim, announced that 140 Egyptian citizens stranded in Tripoli have been deported.

Selim indicated that the deportees include 17 children, saying the Egyptian embassy completed their paperwork after diplomats visited them several times in detention centers in Libya.

The deportees had medical checkups and carried out PCR tests before being sent back home, the ambassador said.

The Arab Parliament strongly condemned the attack launched by Iran on the State of Qatar, describing it as a blatant and unacceptable violation of Qatari sovereignty and a clear breach of international law.

In a statement, the Arab Parliament affirmed its full solidarity with the State of Qatar and its complete support for any measures it takes to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

It also reiterated its warning against the expansion of the conflict in the region and the risks of further escalation that could undermine security and stability.

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit also condemned Iran’s attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, describing it as a completely unacceptable violation of Qatari sovereignty.

Aboul Gheit emphasized the Arab League’s full solidarity with the State of Qatar in response to this Iranian violation, which contravenes international law.

He also stressed the right of Arab states to defend and preserve their sovereignty against any external aggression.

Iran launched a missile attack Monday on a US military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites.
