Fighting is still raging in Sirte as Operation Sunrise and Brigade 166 continue to battle it out against ISIS. Hafter’s battle for Benghazi continues to drag on with little change in the status quo.

There was no significant anti-ISIS coalition activity in Libya this week.

The HoR formally appointed General Khalifa Haftar the General Commander of the Army, but there was no specific noteworthy actions against IS this week.

The brigade sent by the GNC to Sirte is still believed to be on the outskirts of the town and has not made any attempt to engage militarily. There were reports in the Arabic media this week that Haftar had launched three bombing raids on Sirte on 1 March.
