a number of captured Syrian-paid armed members from Turkey were identified, including one who came from Syria to Ankara, then on to Istanbul and then Mitiga Airport in Libya via a civilian plane, but were later captured due to infighting in the militia ranks in the neighborhood of Bou Salim a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>North-Press has tried to reach out to Libyan military officials to obtain statistics on the total number of Syrian nationals arrested in Libya since the beginning of the Turkish intervention, but it has not yet received a response.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The latest statistics obtained by North-Press from Libyan army sources indicate that dozens of Turkish-backed members in Libya (both Syrians and non-Syrians) were killed daily as a result of the latest operations carried out by the Libyan army at the end of March on the Tripoli front.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the last week of March, the death toll reached about 80 militants per day, bringing the total number to more than 500 militants killed in one week, which is the largest weekly death toll of foreign mercenaries in Libya at that time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a related context, North-Press obtained from Libyan military sources a video documenting the participation of Turkish fighters in the recent operations, fighting with militias in Tripoli.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Libyan National Army spokesperson, Major General Staff Ahmad al-Mismari recently announced that Syrian mercenaries continue to be sent by Turkey, even in light of the coronavirus pandemic which threatens the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, al-Mismari announced that in the past 72 hours, 12 Turkish aircraft were shot down during the ongoing battles in the outskirts of Tripoli, and he said that Turkey takes advantage of the coronavirus to carry out attacks on the strategic city of Tarhunah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cairo &ndash;
