It’s been revealed that the British Armed Forces have flown 50 surveillance flights over the besieged Gaza Strip since December alone. The flights departed from RAF Akrotiri, the UK’s air force base in Cyprus. The revelation comes after reports the UK had been shipping weapons to Netanyahu’s regime from the base.
