TRIPOLI: Dozens of fighters from ISIS were killed in Libya Saturday as militiamen sought to dislodge them from a neighbourhood in the eastern city of Derna, Libyan news agency Lana reported.
For more than a week now, fighters belonging to a group known as the Mujahedeen Council of Derna have been attacking elements of the radical Sunni Muslim group in the city.
"Armed men" were trying Saturday morning to drive ISIS forces out of Derna's eastern district of Fataeh, Lana said, and "there were dozens of deaths in the ISIS ranks."
