Civilians caught up in heavy clashes in Tripoli

Tripoli’s Sooq Al-Thelat (Tuesday) roundabout area – downtown – saw heavy fighting on Friday night between two armed groups as sounds of gunfire exchanges and explosions were reported in different parts of the capital’s Sooq Al-Thelat area.

Footage circulated on social media platforms showed civilians in panic amid gunfire in the crowded area, where a large number of families happened to be out for a time of relaxation and fresh air with the high temperatures and power outages that are plunging the capital.

Brigade 444 helped families out of the clashes’ area in Sooq Al-Thelat, and then helped end the clashes between the two armed groups, in addition to setting up security checkpoints to stabilize the situation.
