At least 2,000 Syrian militants have been deployed to Libya

As many as 2,000 Syrian militants from multiple factions in the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army have flown to Libya to aid the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord, reported The Guardian.
Bethan McKernan of The Guardian reported on Wednesday.
Quoting sources in Syria, Turkey, and Libya, the article says many of these fighters have already entered Libya, affirming weeks of unconfirmed allegations that the SNA was active in the continuing battle for Tripoli and several other cities in the North African country.
According to the report, the deployment started last month when the Libyan Prime Minister of the Government of National Accord, Fayez Al-Sarraj, reached a security alliance with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Last week, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that at least one Syrian militant has been killed in the fighting around the capital.
Another militant was reportedly killed over the weekend before the temporary ceasefire was put in place.
At the same time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday that his country’s government was concerned that thousands of militants from Idlib were redeploying from Syria to Libya.
These Syrian fighters heading to Libya have been reportedly offered $2,000 a month from Turkey to help the Government of National Accord in their fight against the Benghazi-based Libyan National Army (LNA).
