Special forces of the Tarek ben Ziyad battalion, one of the units loyal to Haftar, carried out a “vast operation… against the mercenaries and Chadian opposition elements present on Libyan territory,” the Libya al-Hadath television channel reported.<\/p>\n

It said the forces targeted the rebel positions “on the southern border”.<\/p>\n

One member of the battalion was reportedly killed and the units “destroyed several armoured vehicles”.<\/p>\n

Chad’s veteran ruler Idriss Deby Itno was killed in April during fighting between the army and FACT rebels.<\/p>\n

FACT said in a statement that one of its positions was attacked by “the brigade known as Tarek ben Ziyad, supported by Sudanese fighters and flanked by officers from the French army’s Barkhane mission”.<\/p>\n

It said the fighting took place “in Chadian territory”.
