Tripoli, 19 August 2014:
Despite, and it seems, in spite of the “precise” air strikes carried out by air . . .[restrict]craft from unknown origins in the early hours of Monday, missiles continued to fall on residential areas of Tripoli overnight.
As if in open defiance of the air raids, deemed to be of non-Libyan origin by Libya’s Chief of Staff , the perpetrators of indiscriminate shelling of residential areas continued with a barrage of about 20 missiles heard by Libya Herald at between 9-11 pm Monday seemingly being fired from the Hadba/Bu Sleem area.
Early reports seem to indicate that the missiles fell on the Ghoat Shaal, Hay Al-Islamy and Hay Al-Andalous. Reports say that the missiles used were grad missiles. It has not been possible to confirm this.
Reports of missiles falling in Hay Al-Andulous near the cafe near to Arrusi mosque. Another was reported to have fallen on a nearby house and near the ISM school. At the time of writing there were no reports of casualties from either of the missiles.
Another missile fell on a house and car in the Chiesa (Church) area of Habda near the Abubaker Siddik mosque, again there were no casualties.
Tripolitanians are now increasingly belief that some of these so called indiscriminate missile strikes are in fact premeditated with the aim of causing the maximum fear and psychological to the city, partly in revenge for the air strikes and partly as a result of frustration born from the inability to achieve military success on the ground [/restrict]
