Haftar's militias in Sirte have removed the monument to Operation Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous from the Saffron Island in the city, spokesman for the Sirte-Jufra Operations Room, Brigadier General Abdul Hadi Darah said.

"This symbolic monument means a lot. It was built to remember the martyrs who sacrificed their lives to liberate Sirte and marks the beginning of a new stage free of terror after the heroes of Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous ended the ISIS rule in the city," Darah added.

It may be worth noting that Haftar's militias seized Sirte in January 2020, after the Libyan army withdrew its forces from the city.
