What is the Actual Truth About the Viral Video? : Fact
In actuality, the video depicts GNA forces eliminating pro-Haftar fighters who are escaping south of Tripoli in June 2020.
@Oded121351 made a twitter post on June 3, 2020 sharing the same video of the incident. The user wrote in caption “#Libya– somewhat graphic #GNA video of its fighters engaging moving #LNA vehicles south of #Tripoli. Very good effect on the vehicles, but poor marksmanship on the runners (eventually got them all though). Also note the Barrett M107 (?) and the well equipped spotter (?)”

We visited reddit which also shared the video 3 years ago with the headline “Libyan Ambush Sends Enemy Vehicles Into a Death Roll”.
