Egyptian forces hit a jihadist training camp today in retaliation for an attack on a bus carrying Coptic Christians that killed at least 28 people, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said.
In a televised address to Egypt's people, the former army chief said: "Before we spoke to you today, we launched a strike against one of the camps" where jihadists train.
"Egypt will not hesitate in striking terror camps anywhere, either inside (the country) or outside it," Sisi added.
