UK: fighter jets demonstrate 'unwavering commitment to Israel's security'

The British Ministry of Defence has said that two of its fighter jets and an air-to-air refuelling tanker "played their part in attempt to prevent further escalation in the Middle East".

The ministry said in a post on X that the move demonstrated "the UK's unwavering commitment to Israel's security".

"Due to the nature of this attack, they did not engage any targets, but they played an important part in wider deterrence and efforts to prevent further escalation," the ministry added.
