FILE - In this April 24, 2019 file photo, mourners pray for fighters killed in airstrikes by warplanes of Field Marshal Khalifa Hifter's forces, in Tripoli, Libya.

Benghazi offers a glimpse of what may befall the capital, Tripoli, where Hifter’s forces launched an offensive in April against rival militias loosely allied with a weak, U.N.-recognized government.
