Brit spy planes 'still flying over Gaza to help Israel find hostages'

The RAF is continuing to fly spy planes over Gaza to help Israel's government find the still-missing hostages taken by Hamas.

According to sources who spoke to the Times, RAF aircraft launched from British air bases in the Middle East are being used to gather intelligence on the movement of those captured by Hamas on October 7 2023, and passed onto the IDF.

Since the war between Hamas and Israel began, Britain has sent specialised aircraft to help Israel.

Shadow R1s, specialist surveillance planes equipped with sophisticated espionage technology, have been flown almost everyday over the enclave.

While the MoD refuses to disclose which aircraft are being used for these missions, flight tracking data shows the Shadow R1s have flown hundred of missions, as recently as last month, after taking off from Cyprus' RAF Akrotiri.
