The house of Abdul Hamid Dabaiba, head of the Government of National Unity, in the capital Tripoli, was hit by rockets on Sunday evening without any casualties.
Libyan TV revealed that the attack was carried out from the sea, and that armed vehicles belonging to the 166th Battalion were deployed in the area following the incident.
This targeting followed Dabaiba’s decision to install Brigadier General Mahmoud Hamza as director of military intelligence, and was commander of the 444th Brigade, which is one of the most important military forces in western Libya.
The decision did not receive wide support from all security agencies and armed factions in the capital Tripoli, according to Libyan media sources.
Since the outbreak of NATO-backed events in 2011, Libya has seen no stability, but has contributed to the disintegration of the country into east and west with two governments each.
