This video shows some of the aftermath of the attack by French planes on a government military convoy allegedly on its way to Benghazi. Rebel fighters showed up and posed as if this had been their achievement. The video also shows the rebel vehicles heading in the direction from which the government vehicles came, giving the impression that French jets had deliberately opened the way for a rebel military advance, going beyond any suggestion of "protecting civilians" as specified in UN SC Resolution 1973. As reported by Reuters, 14 government troops were killed.

One of the rebels said:
"Gaddafi is like a chicken and the coalition is plucking his feathers so he can't fly. The revolutionaries will slit his neck," said Fathi Bin Saud, a 52-year-old rebel carrying a rocket propelled grenade launcher surveying the wreckage.
"There is no more retreat, we are going forward from now on," he said. "Not all of this is the coalition. We did some of it as well. They encourage us. We were fighting even before they came. This has raised our morale."
