Seventeen British nationals including children are dead or missing in Israel after attacks by Palestinian militant group Hamas.

The BBC has cited an official source, after the previous estimate from the weekend’s attack was originally placed at “more than 10”.

Only a few names have been confirmed among the deceased, including 20-year-old Nathanel Young, who had been a serving solider with the Israeli Defence Forces.

    Assuming this website is based in the UK (.uk), it’s pretty common to report things based on how it relates to the country it’s based from. Just like any other country’s news bodies would highlight any of its citizens that were involved.

      I agree. That’s the issue, though.

        I don’t see how helping people to connect tragedies to their own environment and their own people is an issue

          To me, that seems incredibly narcissistic.
