The Times newspaper said that the British army contracted with a private American company to carry out spying in the sky of the Gaza Strip in search of Israeli detainees.
She explained – in a special report today, Wednesday, that the army resorted to this company due to the lack of spy planes at the Royal Air Force.
It quoted sources at the British Ministry of Defense that the government is paying money for this private company, which is based in the US state of Nevada, to search for Israeli detainees.
The British newspaper reported that “beginners error” revealed the army’s contract with this company that used a spy plane registered with the “N6147u” symbol on behalf of the British government.
She explained that the Transbunder identification device remained open during the plane flying over the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, on July 28, which enabled observers to identify the plane and its path.
The Times stated on Tuesday that British espionage aircraft continued their flights over Gaza to provide Israel with information.
It quoted government sources as confirming that the intelligence information that was collected from various British parties in the region, including the Royal Air Force, is handed over to the Israeli army to obtain immediate information about the prisoners.
Nevertheless, the newspaper refers to the state of “running out of patience” within the British Ministry of Defense regarding Israel’s actions in Gaza.
She says that military sources expressed their shock from the decision to “privatize” spy tasks to help Israel, and she asked why London did not stop this support after seeing the pictures of the Palestinians in Gaza.
