According to witnesses, the amusement park on Omar Mokhtar Street was evacuated, even though it was extremely busy on this second day of Eid al-Fitr.

A source from the Tripoli Security Directorate confirmed that residents were called upon to avoid places of tension and only go out if necessary to maintain their security until the situation calms down.

Videos spread on social media recording the panic and screams of citizens in the amusement park on Omar Al-Mokhtar Street in central Tripoli after clashes broke out before its evacuation.
