MINISTERS are facing calls to investigate whether British-made weapons have been used by Israel in its ongoing massacre in Gaza, and if they are implicated in war crimes. 

The British government has licensed more than £400 million worth of arms to Israeli forces since 2015, including drones, missiles and warplanes, according to Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT). 

Britain is also home to four arms factories owned by Israel’s largest private arms firm, Elbit Systems.
