RAF -monitoring aircraft continue to help Israel in search of hostages in Gaza, according to the British government sources. Non -known RAF aircraft and other British assets in the region collect information and pass on the information to Israel’s army (IDF).
The intelligence allows the IDF to update its information about the place of residence of Israeli hostages who are kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October 2023 during the horrible raids. The Ministry of Defense of the UK refused to confirm which aircraft was involved in hunting the hostages. Flight follow -up data showed that Shadow R1S had flown hundreds of missions about Gaza, as recently as last month.
The specialized spy aircraft is equipped with High-Definition technology that is refined enough to investigate convoys, streets, apartment buildings and zoom in on movements.
The Mod told The Telegraph that British military supervisors “were still ongoing” above Gaza. However, it is not clear which aircraft perform the espionage emissions, whereby the Shadow R1s is said to have already returned to the UK.
In a statement, the Mod said: “Since the beginning of December 2023, the RAF has carried out routinely unarmed surveillance flights on Gaza with the sole purpose of finding hostages. The UK checks which information is passed on to the Israeli authorities and some information about hostages of rescues will be passed on to the relevant authority.”
Hamas hunters took 251 hostages on October 7, 2023, when they launched their horrible attacks on Israel. More than 49 are still being caught in Gaza, 20 of whom are supposed to still live – including an Israelian with a British mother.
The Hamas attack forced Israel to take retaliating active military action against Hamas in Gaza, which led to the death of 61,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-Runned Health Minister.
Many Palestinians in Gaza are confronted with starvation, after Israel’s food and humanitarian stocks limited to enter the area in March.
Between March and June, Israel only allowed 56,000 tons of food to enter the territory, according to Cogat – the Israeli agency that checks the auxiliary shipments to Gaza. A ‘sausage-case scenario-hunger need now unfolds in Gaza, said the experts in the field of food security ingrained by the UN.
Food supplies are “on a scale far below what is needed”, in the midst of “drastic limitations on the input of supplies,” said the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) in a report that refer Israeli numerals about AID.
