A four-month investigation by Declassified UK revealed that Jonathan Burman, a British national from Manchester, served in the Israeli military during the genocide in Gaza.

Images posted to his Instagram show Burman, linked to the 55th Reserve Paratrooper Brigade, in front of the burning Al-Farabi primary school in Khan Younis, an UNRWA facility previously used by displaced civilians.

Under the Geneva Convention, wanton destruction of property constitutes a war crime. With over 2,000 Britons having served in the Israeli army, UN commissioner Chris Sidoti stated the UK Met Police should investigate Burman.
