War in Libya

From Hal Turner. This has been confirmed elsewhere.

War Between Egypt and Turkey has Begun inside Libya - Egyptian Air Force Bombing Near Sirte

War Between Egypt and Turkey has Begun inside Libya - Egyptian Air Force Bombing Near Sirte


It appears actual kinetic war has broken out inside Libya, but between its "Government of National Accord" (GNA) which is backed by Turkey, and the Libyan National Army (LNA) Commanded by General Haftar, supported by Egypt . . .  most everyone else.
Egypt has made clear for MONTHS it considered any expansion of the GNA into Sirte, to be a "Red Line" for Egyptian military action.   Egypt viewed the GNA as unreliable and even hostile toward Egypt, but as long as the GNA kept itself confined, there was no trouble.
Enter Turkey.
When Turkish President Recypt Erdogan began shipping heavy weapons and other supplies to the GNA in Libya -- in direct violation of the UN Arms Embargo -- the GNA started expanding.  It was immediately hit hard by the LNA, and actual warfare has been taking place between the two, for several months.
Throughout, Egypt has let things play out inside Libya, clearly warning everyone that Sirte was the Red Line.
In fact, two days ago, Egyptian President SiSi publicly announced he would declare war in Libya if Sirte was taken by GNA.   No one listened.
Last night, 140 armored vehicles from the GNA began heading toward Sirte.
Very early this morning, those vehicles arrived in Sirte and the GNA began operations to take control of the city.
LESS THAN ONE HOUR AGO, massive explosions began happening in Sirte.  It is being reported the Egyptian Air Force is bombing GNA -Turk military targets there!
THE SCALABLE MAP BELOW SHOWS THE AREA WHERE FIGHTING IS TAKING PLACE:

This may very well be the start of the "Gog-Magog" confrontation.  The players are right.  The location is about right.  The condition of the world is about right for it as well.
