Egyptian intervention in Libya (2015–2020)
The Egyptian intervention in Libya has been substantial since the beginning of the civil war. The intervention started after the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) released a video of the beheading of 21 Egyptians on February 12th, 2015. In response, Egypt launched airstrikes on the 16th of February that same year. After that incident, Egypt became increasingly involved with Libya's internal politics.
