Al-Mismari said in a press conference today: "The al-Sarraj government is carrying out arrests of civilians without any offense."

Al-Mismari added that there is a military build-up and the transfer of equipment to target the National Army in the city of Sirte.

He pointed out that the National Army had detected during the past 24 hours Turkish ships and frigates advancing towards Sirte, which was in an offensive status.

Al-Mismari said, "The recent military move confirms that the plan is greater than the al-Sarraj government, which signed the ceasefire."

Regarding the recent agreement, Al-Mismari said, "The initiative signed by al-Sarraj is for media marketing. It is red herring and the truth on the ground confirms the intention to attack the National Army."

Al-Mesmari confirmed that the Libyan National Army is fully prepared to counter any attack.
