Sixty-four Islamic State fighters have been killed and dozens wounded in Egyptian-Libyan military airstrikes on Libya, announced the spokesperson of the Libyan military, reported Al-Ahram.

The airstrikes, Egypt’s first foreign strikes since the Gulf War in 1991, come after ISIS released a video depicting the decapitation of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians that had been abducted in Libya.

According to Egypt’s military, the airstrikes were carried out in coordination with Libyan officials and targeted multiple ISIS locations, including weapons storage facilities, training points and buildings housing militants.

A good start.

It sure seems like the Egyptian and Jordan Air Force is killing more ISIS members than any other Air Force.

Although I loath the O and his policy to the extent he has one, its a good thing that other countries are forced to step up.

The Egyptians (military 5000 years ancient) appear
to know EXACTLY who the terrorists are.
Why is the US Congress and the Pentagon so blind?

If they can hit them once, they can hit them over and over. Do it. That goes for the Jordanians too.

Well not surprised, both Jordan and Egypt know that ISIS has them in their sights, so they have to fight back.

The quick response by Egypt is impressive. Why can’t we respond as quickly to murder of American hostages?

How do they know that so soon after their military actions?

I hope they’re right.

Don’t be surprised if our intel is coordinating much of this.

We have the ability to zoom in from space in damn near real time.

Except for our Air Force.

“”The quick response by Egypt is impressive. Why can’t we respond as quickly to murder of American hostages?””

Because we have a weak leader? Because we have an imposter as CIC? Because we have a narcissist for a president?

Jordan and Egypt both reacted appropriately - FAST! What does the goon in the WH do? Gets out of town and on a golf course preferably far away from DC.....
