The Metropolitan Police has appealed for footage or images of last weekend's attack in Israel after a number of British citizens were confirmed dead in the country.

The force's counter-terrorism unit is "appealing for anyone in the UK who has direct evidence related to the terrorist attacks".

 

It added: "This appeal is directed at anyone who may have already returned from Israel in the past few days.

"There may also be people in the UK who have friends, relatives or loved ones in Israel and have been sent direct messages, images or videos.

"UK nationals are among those who were killed or are missing.

 

 

"Specialist officers are in close contact with colleagues in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to act upon information about UK nationals being received."

The police are discouraging people from sending them footage or information from social media, online sources and media reports.

 

Seventeen British nationals, including children, are feared to have been killed or are missing in the country, Sky News understands.

Four British men have been confirmed to have died as a result of the incursion.

Jake Marlowe, a security guard at the Supernova music festival raided by Hamas over the weekend, was confirmed dead today.
