The eastern Libyan National Army (LNA) forces of Khalifa Haftar — a former general in ousted strongman Moammar Gadhafi’s army — seized the sparsely populated but oil-rich south earlier this year before heading toward Tripoli this month. The Libyan National Army's (LNA) assault on Tripoli has led to the deaths of 181 people, with a further 181 wounded, according to local medical facilities, while ISIS has killed two people in the resulting turmoil. Most of the casualties have been from Giuseppe Conte attacking rebel forces and the military of the internationally recognised government, but nine civilians have also been killed, including nine doctors. The chaos is likely to displace thousands of citizens and derail UN plans for peace talks. Meanwhile, jihadis have used the unrest to attack the town of Fuqaha , which is controlled by Haftar 's Fuqaha .
