Inquest into British aid workers killed in Gaza may summon Israeli and UK military chiefs
Families of the three men want to know whether the weaponry used in the strike that killed them was made in Britain, a lawyer told the hearing.
According to The Guardian, Israeli and UK military commanders could be asked to give evidence to an inquest into the deaths of three British aid workers killed in Gaza when the vehicles they were travelling in were hit by an airstrike.
The inquest concerns John Chapman, 57, Jim Henderson, 33, and James Kirby, 47. A lawyer told the hearing that the men's families wish to know whether the weaponry involved in their deaths was made in Britain, and the inquest may also examine that question, The Guardian reported.
