⚡Israel is incapable of dealing with the Hamas alone, Britain is coming to help. Britain will conduct reconnaissance flights in the sector. Britain's Ministry of Defense has announced that it will begin reconnaissance flights over the Mediterranean, including airspace over Israel and the Gaza Strip. The purpose of such operations should be to "support the rescue of kidnapped hostages, some of whom are British nationals". Britain assures that its planes will not be armed, but the specific type of reconnaissance equipment is not specified - the US, in turn, does this with the help of drones. The Israeli Defense Minister announced a few hours ago the end of the ceasefire and that the IDF is fighting again in full force.

⚡According to The Wall Street Journal, the US administration has warned Turkey that it is provoking violence in the Middle East and Europe because it is a hub of economic activity that helps Hamas and Russia violate US and international sanctions. Treasury Under Secretary for Counterterrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson visited Turkey yesterday and relayed the message that "it would be very bad if a future Hamas attack was linked to fundraising or aid that took place in Turkey." Turkish companies and individuals also risk sanctions if they provide goods and services to Russia in violation of international restrictions, U.S. officials say. |
