'I'm the only one left': Gaza civilians pulled from rubble after Israel airstrikes

Seventeen British nationals, including children, are feared dead or missing following Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel.

They are some of dozens of foreigners killed, injured or taken hostage since Saturday.

The new figure is a significant increase from the previous estimate of ten.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said on Tuesday that a “significant number” of British-Israeli dual nationals had been caught up in the fighting.

He said Israel’s “unique status” meant there were a large number of British-Israeli dual nationals, with Government estimates suggesting about 50,000 to 60,000 Britons are believed to be in either Israel and Gaza.
