✈️💔 Yesterday (Dec. 23, 2025), tragedy struck above Türkiye's capital when a Falcon 50 business jet carrying Lieutenant General Mohammed al-Haddad crashed near Haymana shortly after takeoff.
Al-Haddad, Libya's chief of general staff, and four others lost their lives. Turkish authorities report the aircraft issued an emergency landing notification before contact was lost, and prosecutors have opened an investigation into the incident.
Tripoli officials confirmed al-Haddad's death following talks in Ankara with his Turkish counterpart, where they were discussing security cooperation. His sudden passing leaves a significant gap in Libya's military leadership at a critical moment for the nation's stability.
