Health authorities said that 146 people have been injured in what is said to be Tripoli's deadliest violence in years. <br />''<br />''The Fighting erupted on Monday between the 444 Brigade and the Special Deterrence Force (SDF) due to the capture of a factional commander. Mahmoud Hamza, head of the 444 Brigade, was seized by the Special Deterrence Force as he tried to travel from SDF-controlled Mitiga airport in Tripoli. According to reports, a total of 234 families were evacuated from front-line areas in the capital's southern suburbs, along with dozens of doctors and paramedics.<br />'' <br />''Meanwhile, officials in the commander's organization said that Mahmoud Hamza returned to his unit yesterday. This was done under a deal brokered by City elders, to end the fighting between the two armed groups aligned with Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah's government. The SDF handed Hamza over to a third faction which then released him to the 444 Brigade. Mitiga Airport, the city's main airport, which was closed due to fighting also reopened yesterday.<br />'' <br />''Libya is going through a political chaos after its long-serving ruler Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown and killed in 2011. The country is now split between Dbeibah's UN-backed government in the west and another in the east backed by renegade general Khalifa Haftar. A 2020 ceasefire has paused Major warfare between the main eastern and western sides. However, deep-rooted factionalism on all sides constantly threatens the peace brought by the truce. <br />
