notes: Ansar al-Sharia and their allies from the Central Shield and February 17 brigade launched attacks on the Benina district to try to destroy the airport, under the control of Operation Dignity forces. This led the air force to perform a defensive operation that killed at least 74 Ansar al-Sharia members and other militant fighters in Benghazi on Thursday (August 7th).
