Egypt has launched airstrikes in Libya after militants targeted Coptic Christians in a terror attack earlier Friday, murdering 28 people and injured scores more. In a televised address, Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi said the strikes targeted “terrorists training camps,” adding the country would “not hesitate to strike terrorist camps anywhere.” Coptic Christians have come under attack recently in the region, mostly at the hands of ISIS terrorists.
