The strikes come after the eastern-based parliament in the divided country on Thurdsay accused the Tripoli-based government of hitting the home of one of its legislators. “Air strikes were carried out on Saturday by drones targeting and destroying tanker trucks carrying smuggled fuel,” the Libya Al Ahrar television channel said. Another site was hit“near the Bir Al Ghanam bridge” in Zawiya, 45 kilometres west of Tripoli on the Mediterranean coast, the broadcaster added. Thursday's strikes also targeted sites around Al Maya, a small port between Zawiya and the capital that has seen repeated clashes between rival militias in recent weeks. On Thursday, the defence ministry said it had carried out“accurate and targeted air strikes against the caches of traffickers of fuels, narcotics and human beings” around Zawiya.
