Forwarded from 🇵🇸 Automated Apartheid in Palestine
🇵🇸 UK has sent 74 war planes from Cyprus to Lebanon since March | Declassified UK
Britain has sent over 80 military transport planes to Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, since the bombing of Gaza began, Declassified can reveal.
All the flights have gone from RAF Akrotiri, Britain’s sprawling air base on Cyprus which has long been a staging post for bombing missions in the Middle East. It sits 150 miles, or 45 minutes flight time, from Beirut.
There has been a steady stream of flights since the Israeli assault on Gaza began in October, but the number rose dramatically in April with 25 flights going from Akrotiri to #Beirut.
May saw the same number of flights, with another 14 so far this month.
