Lawmakers and forces controlling the eastern Libyan city of Derna have accused the <\/strong>Egyptian air force of conducting deadly airstrikes that left a dozen civilians dead,<\/strong> the Associated Press reports<\/a>.

Medical sources had put the total civilian casualties to at least 15 people.<\/p>\n

Separately, Armed Forces spokesperson Tamer El Rifai <\/strong>issued a statement<\/strong><\/a> saying that the air force launched a raid in the Western Desert targeting the same group which took part in the El Wahat attack.<\/strong> El Rifai showcased aerial footage of the raid and listed its targets as vehicles belonging to the group. He also announced<\/a> that the Armed Forces had also rescued a police conscript who had been missing since the attack and that he was currently being treated in a military hospital.<\/p>\n

The news coincides with a State Information Services (SIS) announcement<\/a> that BBC and Reuters agreed to amend their death toll figures from the Wahat attack<\/strong> to line up with the government\u2019s. Both news outlets had reported a death toll of over 50 last week, citing unnamed sources, earning the ire of authorities<\/a>, who put the death toll at 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
