Libya Air Strike

At least 28 people were killed and dozens injured on Saturday in an air strike on a military school in the Libyan capital Tripoli, a ministry spokesman said.

At least 42 people were killed and dozens wounded in an air strike targeting a town hall meeting in southern Libya, a local official and the UN-recognised government said Monday, accusing forces of military strongman Khalifa Haftar.

Nearly 40 migrants were killed and more than 70 wounded in an air strike on their detention centre in a suburb of the Libyan capital Tripoli, an emergency services spokesman told AFP.

Egyptian air force planes on Friday carried out strikes directed at camps in Libya which Cairo says have been training terrorists who killed dozens of Christians earlier in the day, Egyptian military sources said.

Two Air Force B-2 stealth bombers struck Islamic State camps southwest of the Libyan city of Sirte on Wednesday night, less than a month after the Pentagon declared an end to an extended air campaign there.

Sheltering in tunnels, improvised bunkers and rooms fortified by sand-filled fridges, ISIS is holding out in the Libyan city of Sirte, defending itself with snipers, booby-traps and car bombs against pro-government forces.

Crouched behind a cement wall to avoid sniper fire, Libyan pro-government fighters say US air strikes on the ISIS jihadist group in its Sirte bastion have boosted morale.

US warplanes launched air strikes against a suspected ISIS training camp in western Libya on Friday, killing more than 40 people, likely including a militant connected to two deadly attacks last year in neighbouring Tunisia.

The White House said on Friday it cannot yet confirm the results of US air strikes in Libya, but that the Obama administration is committed to taking decisive action against ISIS.

An air strike by an unidentified warplane Friday killed more than 40 people near the Libyan capital where suspected members of the ISIS were gathered, officials said.

Unidentified aircraft carried out an air strike on the Libyan city of Derna today, killing at least three people, an eye-witness in the city and a local television station reported.

International efforts to crush the ISIS will increasingly have to extend to Libya where the terrorists are getting a hold, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said today.

The United States on Monday confirmed the death of the ISIS's senior leader in Libya, known as Abu Nabil, who was targeted in a Nov. 13 US air strike carried out by F-15 aircraft on a compound in the city of Derna.

Warplanes from Libya's internationally recognised government have hit positions of the Islamic State group pushing eastward from their stronghold in Sirte toward the oil hub of Ajdabiya, a senior officer said Tuesday.

The head of the Islamic State group in Libya was killed in an air strike overnight, the Pentagon announced Saturday.
