Islamist gunmen attacked Benghazi's port after the forces of Khalid Haftar's "Operation Dignity" bombed two ships that were carrying weapons to Derna, destroying one of them. The weapons, from Misrata, were said to be destined for the Ansar al Sharia-linked February 17 Brigade. Haftar's forces continued to bomb Islamist targets in Benghazi, and claimed that Ansar al Sharia and allied groups fired rockets at Tobruk Airbase and Benina Airport. The Supreme Council of Libyan Revolutionaries (SCLR) vowed to stay in Benghazi and called for armed groups, including the Libya Shield brigades and the Libyan Revolutionaries' Operation Room (LROR), to join forces with Libya Shield No. 1 Brigade, 17 February Brigade, the Omar Mukhtar Brigade, and Ansar al Sharia in the fight against Haftar's forces. The SCLR also urged LROR and Libya Shield to begin taking over oilfields.
