There was fierce fighting around the Imhemed Al-Magarief hospital at Ajdabiya when a local brigade together with forces from the Libya National Army (LNA) attacked members of the Ajdabiya Revolutionaries Shoura Council (ARSC) and Ansar al-Sharia who were trying to take a number of their wounded fighters into the building. According to a resident in Ajdabiya, five men from the brigade and the military were killed in the fighting and 18 injured. Conflicting reports: In one report, Libya Herald states the 151 Battalion included members of Ibrahim Jadhran's Petroleum Facilities Guards who were reported to be fighting alongside the military forces. A later report denies their involvement in the fighting, instead saying the brigade fighting alongside the LNA unit was made up of 'Salafists'. |
