Israel: Military Aid (5 September 2024)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Mike Martin (Liberal Democrat)
Answer
The Ministry of Defence only provides support to foreign militaries where it is satisfied that it is lawful under international law and domestic law.
On 2 December 2023, the UK commenced surveillance flights over Gaza solely tasked to support hostage rescue. Only information relating to hostage rescue will be passed to the relevant authority responsible for hostage rescue. The surveillance aircraft are unarmed and do not have a combat role.
We are unable comment further on detailed intelligence matters for operational security reasons.
