The tribute to Yonatan Rapoport, a British-Israeli man who was tragically killed in a Hamas attack. He is remembered as a great father and someone who bravely stood against Hamas.

His family and friends have described him as a kind and loving person who was loved by the community. Yonatan was also a devoted Manchester United fan, and he had plans to take his son to a match at Old Trafford.

His tragic death is part of a larger conflict in the region, with the UK government stating that at least nine British nationals have been killed by Hamas in the recent attack.

There are also concerns about other missing British citizens, and the conflict has resulted in casualties on both sides, with over 1,400 people killed in Israel and over 3,700 deaths in Gaza.
