    10/ Amid rubble of Benghazi, I found some families living there. This family for example lives in this half destroyed house. They fixed one room. 3 of their sons lost their lives while fighting on side of army against ISIS/Al-Qaeda. Kids now raised by grandparents.

    9/ Let me just take a second and thank for his amazing drone work. Also all the people on the ground who gave us permission to film this.

    8/ As our drone footage shows, most Benghazi destruction not because of air strikes (like Raqqa or Mosul). Anti-ISIS/Qaeda forces in E-Libya didn't get support from West. They had to go street by street, house by house. Millions of bullet holes.

    7/ When West refers to Benghazi it's mostly in relation to U.S. consulate attack in 2012. But Benghazi is actually a real place with real people. They just came out of a bloody fight against ISIS/Qaeda. City in ruins, mines everywhere, no money, no reconstruction, no int aid.

    6/ This is the al-Wahat hotel where I used to stay in Bengahzi in 2011. Also gone. Many journalists will recognize it.

    الي بنغازي الحبيبة، وانا أمشي في شوارعك وحاراتك، اجتاحتني رغبة شديدة في البكاء. لم اكن اعلم حجم الدمار، لم اكن اعلم انك عانيت بصمت ولم يلتفت إليك أحد. الله يرحم يللي ماتوا. تعالوا معي في شوارع بنغازي وشاهدوا ما شاهدته.

    4/ As for the people of Benghazi, the war has changed them. They feel tired, disappointed, betrayed, left alone, many even regretful... However, they stay the kindest and the most generous.

    3/ I had tears in my eyes seeing Benghazi like this. I can't even start to explain to you how the people feel. This is for example the now destroyed court building. This was the center of 2011 uprising against Ghadaffi. It was blown up by Al-Qaeda group Ansar al Sharia.

    2/ I have to tell you that when I recently arrived in Benghazi, I was really shocked by the destruction of the city. Much worse than I thought it was. As you can see in our drone video, center is fully destroyed during fighting between extremists & army. Very painful to see.

    As world focused on ISIS in Raqqa& Mosul, another city was destroyed: Benghazi. After ISIS &AlQaeda took city in 2014, Libyan army fought extremists &defeated them end 2017. Price of victory high. Our drone footage shows what's left of center Benghazi

    12/ Derna observations, part III: - In areas I visited, there was electricity. - The extremist pocket inside city is marked with barricades, old cars, containers, rocks etc. Inside pocket fighting army vs extremists. Outside pocket locals move around as "normal" as possible.

    9/ Libyan army then conquered Derna's suburbs and pushed extremists deeper into Derna, a city which didn't see police or army presence since early 2013. and I were first foreign reporters allowed into Derna since army offensive. This was our army escort:

    8/ After defeat of extremist groups in east Libya, by 2018 there was only one place where Al-Qaeda, ISIS etc still controlled territory. That place was Derna. Heftar's forces entered Derna on May 2018. They 1st took Temsekt hill, overlooking Derna. (see start of my report)

    7/ Turning point came when Khalifa Heftar, head of Libyan army in the East, organized army &Libya's tribes and created "Operation Karama" (Operation Dignity). Libyan army supported by locals fought from 2014 till end 2017 against ISIS, Al-Qaeda &all groups affiliated with them.

    6/ Demoralized by rise of extremists &weakened by all executions of its officers, Libyan army in Benghazi (which had joined anti-Ghadaffi uprising from beginning), pulled in mid 2014 out of Benghazi. The city had effectively fallen into the hands of the extremists.

    5/ By mid 2014 situation in Benghazi &rest of East Libya had become so grim that various jihadi groups (Qaeda, ISIS, etc) were on verge of declaring an Islamic State or Islamic Emirate in East Libya. (this was same period when ISIS declared caliphate in Syria/Iraq)
