Cops to probe Gaza atrocities by ten Britons
DOSSIER: The lawyers hand in the evidence to New Scotland Yard

POLICE are assessing evidence that 10 British nationals committed war crimes in Gaza including sniping down children and aid workers.

Lawyers handed evidence accusing the group of the murder and torture of civilians while on active service with the Israeli military to the Metropolitan Police’s war crimes unit yesterday.

Speaking outside New Scotland Yard, they said their 240-page dossier is “just the tip of the iceberg,” with reports of more than 100 Britons having served with Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) since October 2023.
