On Sunday, the residence of Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah faced a terrifying attack when it was targeted with rocket-propelled grenades. Fortunately, no casualties were reported in the incident, according to a Libyan minister who spoke on condition of anonymity to Reuters.
Although there were no casualties, the attack did cause some damage to the residence. However, the minister did not provide further details about the extent of the damage or the nature of the attack.
Eyewitnesses in Tripoli’s upscale Hay Andalus neighborhood reported hearing massive explosions near the sea, where the Prime Minister’s residence is located. Following the explosions, heavy security forces quickly mobilized and deployed around the area to secure the scene.
This attack raises concerns about the security situation in Libya, which has been grappling with instability and violence since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Prime Minister al-Dbeibah’s government has been working to bring stability and peace to the country, but incidents like this highlight the challenges they face in achieving that goal.
Authorities have not yet identified the perpetrators of the attack, and investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind it. Meanwhile, Prime Minister al-Dbeibah and his government are likely to increase security measures to ensure the safety of their officials and citizens in the wake of this disturbing incident.
