Egypt carried out a second round of air attacks on Islamic State (IS) targets in Libya, a day after IS released a video showing the beheadings of 21 abducted Egyptian Coptic Christians.  The attacks focused on IS camps, training sites, and weapons storage areas in eastern Libya, where militant groups have been allowed to grow because of the lack of a effective government in Libya.  Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi declared a week of mourning for the Christians, and visited St. Mark’s Cathedral in Cairo to offer his condolences to Coptic Pope Tawadros II.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls is urging French Jews not to emigrate en masse to Israel, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for after anti-Semitic episodes in Europe.  The most recent in France is the desecration of hundreds of graves at a Jewish cemetery near Sarre-Union in the eastern part of the country.  Five teenagers are being questioned after the gravestones were found knocked over and defaced with nazi swastikas.  Valls criticized Netanyahu and said, “The place for French Jews is in France.”

Liberia has reopened schools, six months after they were closed to help prevent the spread of Ebola.  Some think this is a little too soon, because the deadly virus has not been eradicated despite a general decline in new infections in recent weeks.  Many of these schools were used as holding centers for infected Liberians, and school staff are meticulously monitoring students for the initial symptoms of Ebola disease as well as making sure the kids wash their hands in chlorinated water.  The leaders of the three nations worst-hit in the epidemic – Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone – pledged to achieve “zero Ebola infections within 60 days”.  More than 9,000 people died since the beginning of 2014.
