Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) have killed at least three troops at a security checkpoint in southern Libya, according to officials. 

As fighting continues in Tripoli, a group said to be loyal to ISIS terrorists attacked the town of Fuqaha, in Jufra city, killing three people and kidnapping another before leaving, residents said.

The municipality of Jufra confirmed Sunday that ISIS militants had killed 6 people whom they kidnapped from Fuqaha town late last October.

A total of four people, including the son of a local official, were killed on Monday in the attack on police station in central Libya committed by ISIS terrorists, local authorities said.

Local sources from Jufra reported the escape of 32 prisoners from the Correctional and Rehabilitation Institution in Jufra town.

Unknown gunmen on Tuesday released four hostages — including two police officers — after having abducted them two days earlier in Libya’s central Jufra city.

The Judicial Police condemned the kidnapping of a judge, a prosecutor and two of the security guards in an armed attack Sunday on the Court of Waddan town, central Libya.

The emergency room of the Presidential Council government’s air force has announced the launch of air operations to target IS terrorists in the central region.

Three militants from the so-called Islamic State (IS) were killed and others wounded as Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG) forces thwarted an attack by the terrorists on Zallah, central Libya.

Forces loyal to the Presidential Council said they had found documents at the pro-Khalifa Haftar military governor of the southern region that demand facilitation for the movement of Sudanese Justice and Equality militias between Al-Jufra and Sabha.
