Militants affiliated with the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks, calling on the Egyptian people to protest against President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

In an audio message posted on YouTube early on January 29, the militants of Islamic State threatened to kill a Jordanian air force pilot if an Iraqi militant was not released by sunset on January 29.
