Exclusive: MPs urge UK to disclose if it holds spy plane footage of Israel's journalist killings

The British government faces mounting scrutiny over its military cooperation with Israel after the targeted killing of six journalists in an Israeli strike on Sunday.

Anas al-Sharif, Middle East Eye contributor Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal, who all worked for Al Jazeera, and freelancers Moamen Aliwa and Mohammed al-Khalidi were the latest among 238 journalists killed by Israel during its genocide in Gaza.

Aircraft from Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF) have conducted hundreds of surveillance flights over Gaza in the last two years.

Last week, it emerged that the UK has recently been spending taxpayers' money to hire American contractors for surveillance flights over Gaza.

Scotland's The National reported on Wednesday that flight radar data shows a spy plane registered under the code N6147U was active at the RAF Akrotiri airbase in Cyprus two hours before the Israeli strike which killed the journalists on Sunday night.
