– A very widely spread post, which includes a picture of the officer Omar Al-Qadi, the martyr of the “Hero 14” ambush, who was attacked at dawn on the first day of Eid, and another picture of a person wearing a camouflaged military uniform, with the comment: “Libyan pages publish a picture of the dead officer called Omar Al-Qadi with the forces of Haftar, who according to the military media, was killed in Sinai.
Refute
This is incorrect for several reasons:
1 – The photo of a Libyan soldier in the forces of Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, commander-in-chief of the “Libyan National Army,” and was first published on April 5, 2019, while the army was moving towards Tripoli (attached in the comments are pictures of the forces’ movement in which the officer is clearly visible).
2- The person who says that he is the martyr officer Omar Al-Qadi does not resemble the shape of the officer (height / eye color / nose and mouth size) and in other pictures (we will put it in the comments) he explained to the same person that it clearly appears that he is not the martyr Omar Al-Qadi.
3- The martyr Omar Al-Qadi had previously published a picture of him on his Facebook account and said that he was in North Sinai
4 – The “Sinai Province” terrorist organization clearly declared its responsibility for the attack on the “Hero 14” ambush and published pictures of its members during their participation in the attack.
5 – The person shown in the photo is wearing a military uniform that is different from the Egyptian army uniform. If he participates in the name of the Egyptian army, the post is claiming that he will definitely wear his uniform. Logic says that no Egyptian officer will participate in a fight within the army of another country in an undisclosed manner, and he will take a selfie while he is on his way for a military battle. ✅✅
