(UK Defence Journal) George Allison - The Royal Air Force has conducted over 250 intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) sorties near Gaza since December 3, 2023, according to Steffan Watkins, a Canadian research consultant who tracks planes. The RAF uses Shadow R.1 ISTAR aircraft to locate hostages, including British nationals. The RAF website says, "The Shadow's high-definition electro-optical and electronic sensors complements other platforms and capabilities, helping analysts prepare comprehensive intelligence products."
