Four civilians were allegedly injured by GNA artillery shelling on Qasr Bin Gashir.

Alsaaa24 said: “Eyewitnesses reported that the heavy artillery shelling did not stop since the morning hours on the Bi’r Altota area and the Sharif Hotel in Qasr Bin Gashir by Syrian mercenaries and armed militias loyal to the ‘Government of Reconciliation’.

They added that the shelling had caused great casualties among civilians, after it affected residential neighborhoods and citizens’ farms, in a systematic destruction of their livelihoods.”

Tripoli 219 reported “two children, a father and a mother” injured.

Tk Yahroug Kl shy, however, said “a shell has landed on the house of Abd al-Salam al-Warfalli” but there were no casualties.
