However, thanks to further support from the U.S military and the United Nations, brave government-backed Libyan fighters are attempting to take back the territory.

These dramatic pictures show the soldiers in high spirits with one sporting a ‘V for Vendetta’ mask – the disguise popular with western hacking collective Anonymous.

On Thursday, President Barack Obama insisted the anti-ISIS campaign is making progress in Iraq, Syria and Libya.
