Our Middle East correspondent suspects the UK government may take action following the deaths of three Britons in an IDF airstrike. The convoy, consisting of aid workers, was hit by three separate missiles. This incident marks the first time foreign nationals have been killed, leading to potential international consequences.
Our Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall says he suspects the UK government may take some sort of action following the deaths of three Britons in an IDF airstrike.'It was not just a single airstrike, all three vehicles in that convoy spaced three kilometres apart were hit by missiles,' he said.'Clearly the fact that the aircraft, be it a drone or a jet, fired three separate missiles, shows it was the intention to strike this convoy.
'Perhaps they thought there were Hamas fighters in it, who knows? 'That is part of what the investigation will have to establish, but there were no Hamas fighters, it was aid workers, amongst them three Britons, an Australian, and a Polish national as well.'It is the first time that foreign nationals have been killed, and that is why it is significant.'I think we will see an international reaction against Israel asking it to explain itself and possibly consequences, particularly from the British governmen
