Several people have been injured as opponents and supporters of a renegade ex-general clashed in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
Witnesses told Al Jazeera that Friday's skirmishes in Martyrs' Square started with verbal insults and protesters throwing water bottles and sticks at each other. After a tense stand-off, gunshots were heard, and protesters started running.
"We are against [ex-general Khalifa] Haftar and now they are shooting at us," a woman shouted as she ran by an Al Jazeera cameraman.
It was not clear who had opened fire and no one was injured by the shooting.
On May 16, Haftar launched an offensive in Libya's second city, Benghazi, aimed at eradicating militias that he called "terrorists". Fighting has since escalated and Libya has become increasingly divided.
