night, the regime sent warships to Misrata and captured its port. [56][57][58][59] The next day, there were conflicting reports, with rebels and doctors claiming that the warships retreated from the port, re-securing the port for the rebels. However, this hadn't been independently confirmed. [60] The same day, a Libyan Air Force Soko G-2 Galeb was destroyed by French fighter jets at Misrata. Later that day, a French armed forces spokesman confirmed that the plane was destroyed at the air base with an AASM air-to-ground missile just after it had landed. [4][5][61] Rebels in Misrata also claimed to have killed 30 pro-Gaddafi snipers, and to have managed to reach the town center. [62][63] On 25 March, more shelling hit the city and in the evening 10-12 loyalist tanks appeared on Tripoli Street. They were hitting rebel positions before retreating to avoid Coalition planes. There was also confusion over whether the port was being blocked by loyalist ships, or whether it had been recaptured by the rebels. [64] On 26 March, Gaddafi's forces launched a massive attack on Misrata, sending in more foreign mercenaries and bombarding the city with mortar shells and tanks. Witnesses described the situation as "very very dire". [65] As during previous days, when coalition planes started appearing over the skies of Misrata artillery and mortar shelling on the city stopped and the tanks pulled back to cover. [66] The French MoD claimed that their fighters destroyed five G-2 Galeb ground attack jets and two Mi-35 attack helicopters at the Misrata airbase while they were preparing to take part in offensive operations against rebels in the city. [67] Gaddafi's forces resumed the artillery, mortar, and tank shelling of the city the next day on 27 March. [68][69] Nine people were killed and 23 wounded as loyalist troops fired mortars while advancing towards the city from the west. [70][71] In the evening, like previous times, the fighting had stopped so loyalist forces could avoid coalition air-strikes. [72] On 28 March, at noon local time, Gaddafi's forces began bombarding the city again. [73] After the bombardment stopped, a rebel source confirmed that loyalist troops gained control of a part of the city, effectively dividing Misrata into a government-held part and a rebelheld part. [74] During the fighting, rebels damaged two loyalist tanks. [75] Just before evening, international journalists were brought from Tripoli who confirmed that Misrata's suburbs, including Tripoli Street, were under government control. A military officer stated that there were still about 100 rebels left and the fighting was concentrated around the center of the town. [76] CNN's Nic Robertson reported that the streets of Misrata were largely empty except for about 100 pro-Gaddafi supporters demonstrating and a strong military presence. [77] Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught said that the furthest in Misrata that she and the other international journalists were taken to was the south side of Tripoli Street, one and a half miles from the city's center, from where gunfire could be heard. [78] The British Ministry of Defense claimed that their planes hit and destroyed two loyalist tanks and two armored vehicles near the city. [79] On 29 March, loyalist forces swept through the city, securing the western and northwestern part and closing in on the last rebel pockets of resistance. [80] Witnesses reported that government troops were forcing mass evictions of people from their homes. A member of the rebel command in the city claimed that loyalist forces were killing and wounding civilians indiscriminately. [81] During the night, heavy street fighting occurred in the city's Az-Zawaabi district in which nine rebels were killed and five wounded. [82] On 31 March, a local doctor, who was a member of the opposition, claimed that Gaddafi's forces only retained control of Tripoli Street. However, nobody else confirmed the claim. [83] Gaddafi forces were using artillery to bombard Misrata, according to a rebel spokesman. He stated that 20 civilians were killed in the city the previous day when houses were hit by shells.
