Egypt exhibiting its 2015 airstrikes in Libya with new film
Egypt produced a film about the airstrikes in Libya's Derna in 2015, to focus on its own war on terrorism at home and abroad.
CAIRO — A production company believed to be linked to the Egyptian intelligence has fired the imagination of millions of viewers by unveiling a new film about Egyptian airstrikes in Libya's northeastern city of Derna in February 2015.
Synergy Films posted the trailer of its new film "Al-Serb" ("Squadron") on Feb. 14, promising to give viewers an insight into the air raids that followed the slaughter by the Islamic State (IS) of 20 Egyptian nationals.
"The Egyptian president had vowed to avenge the killing of Egyptian citizens and he honored his pledge," the company's chairman, Tamer Morsi, wrote on the trailer page.
Egypt staged the airstrikes on Feb. 16, hours after IS posted a video in which it showed the slaughter of 21 people, of whom 20 were Egyptian Christians, in a coastal area in Libya.
