The insurgency in Libya reached its peak as the devoured country has turned into a war zone of battling local and international forces fighting over power. The situation in Libya seems to be getting from bad to worse as fierce battles between Islamist militants and the Dignity Army led by General Khalifa Haftar continue to erupt across the country, especially in Tobruk, Benghazi and Tripoli. General Khalifa Haftar, who declared a state of emergency in Libya following protests across the country, launched a wide range military operation against "Ansar Alshareea" movement which led to the offensive by "Fajr Libya" rebel movement on Hafatr's forces in Tripoli, known as the "Zantan Brigades." Two parallel governments and parliaments have emerged after the parliamentary elections June 2014. On one hand, the legitimacy of Tobruk's Parliament was acknowledged by the international community, On the other hand, the Tripoli Parliament is backed by militant groups across the country. The National Conference, led by the Muslim Brotherhood's Omar Al Hassi, recruited the armed militants in Musrata to overrun the oil fields seized by Parliament's supporting militant groups, which led to fierce battles between the two sides, resulting in the Dissipation of over 7 oil tanks in Libya's biggest oil field, Sedra. Meanwhile, Haftar was leading a vicious offensive on Ansar Al Shareea in the west, narrowing down the group's control over the majority of western territories. The Zantan Brigades, Ogaylat, Sarman, Al Jamil, Reqdalin, Alzawya, Rashfana, Al Mashasheya, Alnawayel, Kofra, Gaghboub, Al Qe'qaa and Al Swaiq brigades have all pledged alliance to Haftar against Ansar Al Shareea. Over 600 political figures, military personnel and Judiciary system members were assassinated in Benghazi, the second largest city in Libya after Tripoli, which led to the latter declaration of "Operation Dignity" by Haftar to eliminate the danger of armed militias in Benghazi. Brigades from Albaydaa, and Tobruk, along with troops from Benghazi and air forces from Eastern Libyan cities have joined Haftar's forces in its war against Benghazi's militias. Haftar's forces managed to overrun large thwases of territories in Benghazi and Eastern Libya with the help of army volunteers and air forces, which carried out a number of airstrikes on militants' positions, leaving hundreds killed from both sides. Meanwhile, Fajr Libya's forces seized the Tripoli international airport on August 24th amid vicious battles with Zantan brigades and its allies, destroying nearly 90% of the civilian aircrafts in the airport, which was set to fire later on. Fajr Libya continued to carry out airstrikes against its rival forces in Nafousa Mountain, South Tripoli, who managed to repel the group's attacks with the help of Abdullah Al Theni's government, which provided the forces with military aircrafts used to carry out airstrikes on Fajr Libya's positions in Zawara, Ogaylat, Abu Kmash, Ras Jdair, Be'r Al Ghanam and Gheryan. Haftar has revealed plans to carry out wide range offensive on the capital Tripoli to liberate it from militant groups who seized oil fields and governmental building last summer, adding that the airstrikes on Metika airport is the first offensive in the last battle to liberate Tripoli, as he stressed on the necessity of this battle because "the country cannot be run by two governments."
