Do we know the RAF are spying for Israel or just keeping a close eye on what’s going on in Gaza? I would suspect Israel has better on the ground intelligence available to it anyway.
Also they can just find schools, playgrounds and hospitals on Google Maps.
The UK is extremely secretive about it but since they are flying US weapons to Israel from the same airbase it’s safe to assume these are not a neutral party.
These planes are generally used to designate bombing targets. They were also in the air during releases of captivity when there was supposed to be no spying.

Israeli Intel is actually worse. They have their drones but these do not produce the same quality mapping data which these hyper expensive spy planes can.
That’s certainly an assertion but even the MP who’s comment they got didn’t go that far. I’m not sure STW are the most neutral party to report this either.
Sure they can designate targets, it’s one of its many roles which also include surveillance. If anywhere is deserving of keeping a close eye on its what’s currently going on in Gaza.
Yeah and flying US weapons to Israel from there right?
Good Guy Kid Starver using “there is no genocide in Gaza” as a legal argument to secretly keep sending weapons to Israel after promising not to.
Any way you could recrop that tweet to include the date
13h and 15h ago from when I made this post.
So yesterday.
Cheers big ears
This is so stupid. Why would the IDF need a UK spy plane? They’re right next to the Gaza strip and fully capable of acquiring targets. They have all the modern gear already at their disposal.
UK taxpayer dollars and also the quality of the mapping from the RAF plane is higher. The RAF has made over 500 of these spy flights.

WTF is a “dollar”?
Its a unit of currency in a lot of places
None of them the UK.
It’s also not like they used the intel to avoid indiscriminately bombing the ever loving fuck out the whole place
