Heavy fighting continues for control of the port of Benghazi.

The battle between Haftar’s Operation Dignity forces and Benghazi Revolutionaries Shura Council (BRSC) continues without any restraint and focuses increasingly on the port.

Operation Dignity forces including the crack Sa’iqa 21 battallion are facing entrenched elements of the Benghazi Revolutionaries Shura Council.

Despite Haftar’s exaggerations, the Benghazi Revolutionaries Shura Council is clearly feeling the heat. It has lost many of its fighters and it was reported this week that hundreds of families of shura council members had fled the city and were seeking refuge in the west of Libya.
