CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt said Monday it had carried out dawn airstrikes against ISIS targets in Libya in revenge for the videotaped beheading of a group of Coptic Christians.

The country’s Armed Forces General Command announced that its fighter jets targeted weapon stores and training camps “to avenge the bloodshed and to seek retribution from the killers.”

It was Egypt’s first confirmed foreign military intervention since the 1990 Gulf War.
