Israeli air force chief who oversees Gaza strikes visits UK
Israel’s air force chief has landed in Britain for a conference hosted by the Royal Air Force.
Major General Tomer Bar has been in position throughout Israel’s war on Gaza, and from April this year has reportedly personally approved air strikes carried out by the Israeli air force.
He landed on Thursday afternoon and is reportedly in the UK to attend the Royal International Air Tattoo event, which is held at a Royal Air Force base in Gloucestershire.
The major event at RAF Fairford, which features air shows and aircraft displays, began on Friday morning and will last until Sunday.
According to Israeli public broadcaster Kan, Bar will have a series of meetings with air force commanders from around the world.
