8/ The lawyers behind the case are clear: “These war crimes are not in our name.” “The government cannot say it didn’t know.” This case may redefine how the UK responds to the international atrocity of genocide — especially when its own citizens are involved.

7/ Witnesses cited in the report describe: - Bulldozers desecrating corpses - Bodies buried in hospital courtyards - Mass civilian death Barristers call the evidence “compelling” and want to see those responsible stand trial at the Old Bailey.

6/ This comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Israel’s war in Gaza, which has killed more than 50,000 people — most of them civilians — since October 2023. The UK legal team says it’s time to confront Britain’s complicity and enforce the law.

5/ Lawyer Michael Mansfield KC: “Even if we can’t stop other governments behaving badly, we can stop our nationals from doing so.”

3/ The complaint was prepared by legal teams in the UK and The Hague on behalf of: - The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights - The Public Interest Law Centre (UK) Names of the accused, many of them dual nationals and officer-level, are being withheld for legal reasons.

2/ A 240-page dossier will be submitted to the Met’s war crimes unit today. It alleges that UK nationals took part in: - Killings of civilians and aid workers - Sniper attacks on medical sites - Targeting of hospitals, cultural landmarks, and religious sites - Forced displacement
