Ministers are facing questions over reports an alleged Palestinian gunman illegally crossed the Channel on a small boat.
According to the Mail on Sunday, Abu Wadee is a former key member of a militant group who has called for the slaughter of all Jews and posed with AK-47s.
Wadee, who is believed to be in his mid-30s and from the city of Khan Yunis in Gaza, is thought to have been one of the 235 migrants picked up on four small boats in the Channel on Thursday morning.
The newspaper alleges that although he fled Gaza before the October 7 attacks in 2023, he appears to have been a prominent member of the so-called “Tyre-Burning Unit”, a militant group of Palestinian extremists who before the outbreak of war are believed to have regularly hurled fire-bombs and rocks at Israeli forces manning the border with Gaza.
