A large UK military transport aircraft, the A400M, was deployed from Britain’s base in Cyprus to Israel. This aircraft has the capacity to carry up to 116 troops and a wide range of military equipment, including components for Chinook helicopters.

Since 2023, the United Kingdom has carried out at least 518 aerial surveillance operations over Gaza using Royal Air Force aircraft based at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. These reconnaissance flights have raised concerns over the UK’s role in supporting the Zionist genocide in Gaza that has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians.
