Belgian jets take off from Araxos

According to sources, four Belgian F-16 fighter jets set out for Libya on 16:30 this afternoon from the airport of Araxos.

The four jets are part of a team of eight aircraft that have Araxos as a middle stop.

The four jets do not carry bombs and explosives so they will not be targeting specific locations on Libyan soil.

After discussion with the countries that will direct all the bombings in Tripoli and other Libyan areas, the Belgian fighter jets are simply going to patrol the fly zone above Libya.
