This dawn, the city of Zawiya, west of Tripoli, witnessed violent armed confrontations in the Qumouda area, involving the use of shells and heavy weapons, resulting in the death of two people.
This marks the latest wave of security tension gripping the city.
Local sources reported that the clashes broke out after Hazem Bourahim (known as Awess) was killed by gunfire from Hamdi Bin Nasser, a member of the Zuaitat group. Subsequently, the latter was killed by gunfire from Hassan Bourahim, the brother of the first victim.
According to the same sources, Hazem Bourahim had recently joined the armed group led by Mohamed Bahroun (known as Al-Far), reflecting the ongoing divisions and conflicts among armed groups within Zawiya.
