Hamas, UK cemetery in Gaza
Hamas' plan to dig up British soldiers' graves uncovered
Documents reveal Hamas' intent to use graves as leverage against the UK following the embassy decision.


Hamas planned to exhume the graves of British and Commonwealth troops buried in Gaza and use the remains as leverage to blackmail the British government, according to a report by the Telegraph.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) has maintained a cemetery in Gaza for over a century, containing the remains of more than 3,000 Commonwealth troops from the World Wars. Many of these soldiers died in 1917, fighting the Ottomans during a conflict that led to British rule in Palestine.
Israeli forces reportedly discovered a seven-page document dated October 5, 2022, detailing the plan. The document outlined Hamas' intention to pressure the UK government into reversing its stance on Jerusalem, following then-Prime Minister Liz Truss's announcement to relocate the British embassy from Tel Aviv.
