On May 26, 29 people were killed in a gun attack on a bus carrying Coptic Christians to a monastery 300km south of Cairo, Egypt.

ISIS claimed responsibility for this and a number of other attacks on the Coptic community.

In response, the Egyptian military launched airstrikes on what it claimed were terrorist bases in eastern Libya.

RTDD monitored the unfolding events.

Using social media discovery methods we retrieved user-generated content from the coastal city of Derna in Libya.

Here’s how we verified the footage.
