The February 2015 Egyptian airstrikes in Libya against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) positions in Libya took place on February 16, 2015, and were triggered by a video released by ISIL in Libya a day earlier, depicting the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt.
 Within hours, the Egyptian Air Force responded with airstrikes against ISIL training camps and weapons stockpiles in retaliation for the killings.
 Warplanes acting under orders from the Libyan government also struck targets in Derna, reportedly in coordination with Egypt.
The response of Saudi Arabia to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has taken many forms.
 For example, Saudi government agencies have worked with the United States since late 2014 to train and equip Syrian fighters hoping to engage with Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants.
 The Saudi people have suffered attacks at the hands of ISIL agents, such as the August 2015 mosque bombing in the Asir area that killed fifteen people and injured nine.
 Like past militant incidents in the country, the bombing was met with shock and condemnation.
 The challenges of dealing with ISIL is complicated by the fact that around 2,500 militants originally from Saudi territory have left for Syria in order to join ISIL, the destabilization created by the Syrian Civil War having a big effect on the region.
The Lion Cubs are a faction of child soldiers used by the Islamic State.
 According to a report by the magazine Foreign Policy, children as young as six are recruited or kidnapped and sent to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's military and religious training camps, where they practice beheading with dolls and are indoctrinated with the religious views of ISIL.
 Children are used as human shields on front lines and to provide blood transfusions for Islamic State soldiers, according to Shelly Whitman of the Roméo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative.
 The second installment of a Vice News documentary about ISIL focused on how the group is specifically grooming children for the future.
 A spokesman told VICE News that those under the age of 15 go to sharia camp to learn about religion, while those older than 16 can go to military training camp.
 Children are also used for propaganda.
 According to a UN report, "In mid-August, ISIL entered a cancer hospital in Mosul, forced at least two sick children to hold the ISIL flag and posted the pictures on the internet."
 Misty Buswell, a Save the Children representative working with refugees in Jordan, said, "It's not an exaggeration to say we could lose a whole generation of children to trauma."
The terrorist group, self-proclaimed Islamic State (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) also known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)) has committed several fundamental violations of children's rights in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq and Syria The conventions protecting children's rightsis the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
 This is the most ratified international human rights treaty in history which established the widely supported view that children and young persons have the same basic general human rights as adults and also specific rights that recognize their special needs.
 A further two additional protocols were adopted by the UN General Assembly on 25 May 2000 covering the involvement of children in armed conflict and on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.
 In ISIL's rise in the recent years, they have committed various violations of the (CRC) and its protocols, which have been signed and ratified by Iraq and Syria.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, calling itself Islamic State) is recognized by the UN as the perpetrator of a genocide of Yazidis in Iraq.
 The genocide has led to the expulsion, flight and effective exile of the Yazidis from their ancestral lands in Northern Iraq.
 The genocide led to the abduction of Yazidi women and massacres that killed thousands of Yazidi civilians during what has been called a "forced conversion campaign" being carried out in Northern Iraq by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), starting in 2014.
On February 12, 2015, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) released a report in their online magazine "Dabiq" showing photos of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christian construction workers who that they had kidnapped in the city of Sirte, Libya, and whom they threatened to kill to "avenge the [alleged] kidnapping of Muslim women by the Egyptian Coptic Church".
 The men, who came from different villages in Egypt, 13 of them from Al-Our, Minya Governorate, were kidnapped in Sirte in two separate attacks on December 27, 2014, and in January 2015.
 This was not the first time that Egyptians in Libya have been the subject of abuse for political reasons, a pattern that goes back to the 1950s.
Dabiq (Arabic: دابق‎ ‎ ) was an online magazine used by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) for islam and recruitment.
 It was first published in July 2014 in a number of different languages including English.
 "Dabiq" itself states the magazine is for the purposes of unitarianism, truth-seeking, migration, holy war and community ("tawhid, manhaj, hijrah, jihad" and "jama'ah" respectively).

 Mosul is the second largest city in Iraq, and because of this, it was one of the Islamic State's largest bases, and their capture of the city was used in propaganda to demonstrate their military strength.
