Families from European countries were on board a Libyan Airlines plane that had been hit by Grad rockets’ attack on Tripoli’s Mitiga Airport, a source from the Government of National Accord (GNA) reported Saturday.

The plane was preparing to take off to Spain with families on board – stranded in Libya due to Coronavirus – from European countries such as Germany, Spain and the Netherlands.

The passengers on board the Libyan Airlines plane were panicking and very horrified by the shelling on Tripoli’s Mitiga Airport, as some of them fainted including a ten-year-old boy.
