The Head of the Libyan Presidential Council Fayez Al-Sarraj has approved a new phase of the tactics that aim at repelling the attack on Tripoli by Khalifa Haftar's forces.

This came in a meeting on Saturday in the presence of Chief of Staff Mohammed Al-Sharif, Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha and other officials.

The meeting saw discussions about the ongoing fighting in and around Tripoli as well as the nearby districts with elaborations on the coordination among Tripoli military operations room and other security and military units.

Al-Sarraj called for providing all necessary support for the fighting units under Presidential Council's command on the frontlines, calling for continued backup from the central military zone to be joining the fighting axes in southern Tripoli.

In the meantime, the media office of Volcano of Rage Operation said the backup arrived in the assigned positions for the forces on the frontlines and the next phase will soon kick off.
