“Yesterday pro-LNA social media accounts shared video purporting to show Turkish personnel working on the airstrip on the site of the former Mashrou Al-Moz development, also known as the Banana Project, in the town of Ain Zara, which is situated approximately five miles southeast of the center of Tripoli. Even with reports of Turkish involvement, we don’t know who is actually building the strip or for what purpose, but the area remains under GNA control and satellite imagery shows that it is unmistakably under construction.

Probably this airstrip, once completed with or without direct assistance from Turkey, could help support the Government of National Accord’s (GNA) drone operations. The buildings could serve as antenna mounts to increase the range of line-of-sight control links, as well. “
