Government spokesman Nasser al-Manaa said there had been no fighting in the mountainous area since Monday, following the deployment of the army.
The area includes the towns of Zintan, Mizdah and Shegayga, some 150km (90 miles) south of the capital Tripoli.
The casualties figures are far higher than first reported and testify to the intesnity of the fighting which reportedly
was over smuggling routes and the killing of a man from Zintan. The numbers of dead and injured reflect the heavy weapons being used by the militias and tribes in the region.
