The Telegraph reported that a Hamas official in 2022 wrote a plan to disinter British soldiers' remains in Gaza and use them to extort the British government, according to documents from Gaza provided by Israeli officials. Israeli officials believe the document was written in reaction to then-U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss saying she wanted to move the British Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

In short:

Satellite imagery shows heavy damage to the Gaza War Cemetery at Deir El Belah, which is mainly dedicated to fallen Allied personnel, including more than 250 Australians.

The body that normally oversees the cemetery is no longer able to provide updates on its condition, having evacuated its staff from Gaza.

What's next?

Greens senator David Shoebridge is demanding the Albanese government raise the issue directly with the Israeli government.

Greens senator David Shoebridge, a vocal critic of Israel's military action who obtained the commercial images, says they reveal a level of destruction and desecration that is "dreadfully disturbing".

During a parliamentary hearing earlier this month, the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) confirmed it had not made any inquiries to the Israeli government about the graves' possible destruction.
