The Defense Ministry of Libya’s Tripoli-based Government of National Unity announced the end of a military operation in the capital, according to Al Wasat television, following intense clashes that erupted earlier in the week between rival security forces.

In a brief statement, the ministry said that troops were directed to "complete the implementation of its plan in the region to ensure sustainable security and stability." However, it did not offer further details regarding the operation's scope or outcomes.

The announcement comes amid efforts by the internationally recognized government to assert control over volatile areas in Tripoli and restore public confidence in state security institutions.

The lack of transparency surrounding the military action raises questions about operational goals and long-term implications for security in the capital.

Clashes follow assassination of Abdelghani al-Kikli

Heavy clashes broke out in Tripoli on Monday evening between the 444th Combat Brigade and the Stability Support Apparatus, following the assassination of Abdelghani al-Kikli, the head of the apparatus.

Al-Kikli was reportedly killed at the headquarters of the 444th Brigade, triggering a violent confrontation between the two factions.

According to initial reports, at least six people sustained injuries during the armed clashes, and the situation remained tense until the Defense Ministry moved to assert control and halt the hostilities.

Later the same day, authorities linked to the Presidential Council of Libya’s Government of National Unity (GNU) declared a state of emergency in Tripoli, following the intense clashes.

It is worth noting that in light of the violence, Mitiga International Airport, Tripoli’s main airport, announced a full suspension of air traffic. Incoming flights were diverted to Misrata Airport, located east of the capital.
