Libyan forces prepare for last push against ISIS in Sirte
SIRTE- Behind the front lines in the Libyan city of Sirte, ageing tanks crunch through the debris of battle to new positions and resting fighters drink sweetened coffee waiting for orders to advance.
Ahead, ISIS militants besieged in a single residential neighbourhood and targeted by US air strikes deploy mines, snipers and suicide bombers to defend their shrinking area.
After three-and-a-half months, the campaign to recapture the coastal city is in its final stages. "The fact that they're using mines to such an extent shows they are weak now," said Ahmed Alramali, a field commander. "This is their last chance."
