The British military is still conducting surveillance flights over Gaza, The Times reported, citing government sources, with the alleged aim of assisting "Israel" in locating captives, even as Palestinian civilians face severe shortages of food and mass killings.

British surveillance aircraft, including undisclosed RAF planes, along with other UK military assets in the region, are collecting intelligence that is being shared with the Israeli military to provide real-time updates.

The Ministry of Defense has declined to reveal the specific aircraft involved in the operations to locate the captives, even as "Israel" prepares to unveil a revised strategy for its war on Gaza aimed at securing their release.

Flight tracking data have revealed that Shadow R1 surveillance aircraft, operating from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, have conducted numerous missions over Gaza, with activity continuing as recently as last month.

The Shadow R1, which serves as the RAF's dedicated surveillance aircraft, carries advanced high-definition electro-optical sensors and electronic monitoring systems designed to collect intelligence data.

The MoD acknowledged that British military surveillance operations continue over Gaza, even though recent flight tracking data suggest a pause in Shadow R1 missions, with an RAF source indicating these aircraft may have returned to the UK while leaving uncertainty about which platforms have now assumed the surveillance role.
