The Tunisian military announced that 14 soldiers were killed and 23 were wounded in attacks by two terrorist teams on military checkpoints on Mount Chaambi; one terrorist was killed. The death toll is reportedly the highest since the military’s formation in 1956. The Okba Ben Nafaa Brigade has claimed the attack; Tunisian authorities have said the group is linked to both Ansar al Sharia and al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. On July 15, over 12 Zintani fighters wounded from clashes with Islamist forces at Tripoli airport crossed over for medical treatment in Sfax city.
