Forces from the Islamist Libya Dawn coalition are said to be bulldozing homes in the Warshefana area, where clashes are ongoing. As Operation Dignity forces backed by Tebu and Arab militias are preparing an assault on Islamist positions in Benghazi, the forces of Ansar al Sharia and Benghazi's Revolutionary Shura Council are said to be withdrawing. Mohamed "Bouka" Al Araibi, a commander of a Brega militia linked to the Revolutionary Shura Council, was wounded by an airstrike in Benghazi. The Parliament sacked the ambassadors to Jordan and Turkey because they have shown allegiance to the rival former GNC, now headed by Omar al Hassi, who moved into the prime minister's office in Tripoli after Libya Dawn took it over.
