Egypt says it has bombed Islamic State targets in Libya, hours after the group published video showing the apparent beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians.
State TV said the dawn strikes had targeted camps, training sites and weapons storage areas.
Earlier, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Egypt had the "right to respond" against IS.
A video emerged on Sunday showing a group wearing orange overalls being forced to the ground and decapitated.
IS militants claim to have carried out several attacks in Libya, which is in effect without a government.
"Egypt reserves the right to respond at the proper time and in the appropriate style in retaliation against those inhuman criminal killers," President Sisi said.
"Egypt and the whole world are in a fierce battle with extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and sharing the same goals."
The kidnapped Egyptian workers, all Coptic Christians, were seized in December and January from the coastal town of Sirte in eastern Libya, under the control of Islamist groups.

My pleasure Grampa Dave!
Derna is only about 150 miles from the Egyptian border, easy striking distance for Egypt's F-16s and other attack jets without refueling support.
Egypt does not appear to have any aerial refueling capacity of its own, but it has trained with American tankers which means they could hit targets anywhere in Libya with American or UAE or Saudi tanker support.
Thanks, very nice, gave me chills.
it bet that was shot in a public library...
I doubt he owns any books.
It’s not just that. Don’t forget - but for the military coup, a similar regime would also now be in control of Egypt.
Everything ISIS publishes is full of “movie” type props and framed as such. They have professional people hired now to carry out their videos and the entire “stage” they put together....
Revelation 20:4: ..... and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
And he has armed al Qaeda & ISIS. He has helped train elements of ISIS. He has paid to put Morsi in power in Eqypt and the MB Terrorists. He sat on his hand as the Kurds were getting clobbered by ISIS to protect that MB loving B_tard in Turkey (ErDogAn). What part of this is not giving comfort to the enemy during time of War? Yes we are at war with the Terrorists, they declared war on US. TREASON by the Liar-in-Chief. May this all end, and it will end badly.

The Supremely Poowerful Ministry of Mohammedan Propaganda! Clearly they’ve learned a few tricks form Obies crew...
I guess he won’t much like people like me who are positioning themselves in the “ru-burbs” to be self-sufficient growing on food, off the grid with solar and own water, and extremely well-armed.
THOSE KIDS saluting would likely salute anything if it got them Face Time
LOL Citizen Kane
bingo!
This must be when he was applauding his talentless wench : )
It’s a catch 22 for any citizen...most have young people from their families who have joined up...so they will not oppose ISIS or put their families at risk. This is typical verywhere that ISIS takes over.....people are terrified of ISIS and of course that is natural throughout the ME with Islam itself. This is how they keep people in bondage to Islam.
