UK probing alleged harassment of Oct. 7 survivors by Manchester airport authorities [View all]

British authorities were investigating the UK Border Force’s treatment of two Israeli brothers who survived the Supernova music festival massacre, the country’s interior minister announced Tuesday, after they were detained at Manchester Airport. The two traveled to England to share their experiences of rescuing other rave-goers and raise awareness for a nonprofit established to help survivors of the October 7 onslaught by Hamas, according to the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester and Region, which sent a complaint over Sunday’s incident.

Over 360 men and women partying at the Supernova Festival rave close to Kibbutz Re’im near the Gaza border were murdered by Hamas terrorists who invaded Israel on October 7, and dozens of hostages were seized from there and taken to Gaza. In all, the terror group killed some 1,200 people in southern Israel, overwhelmingly civilians, and abducted 253 that day in the worst terror attack ever against the country.

In the complaint published online, the council’s chief, Marc Levy, said the Israelis were stopped at the airport after the border guards noticed their passports and asked them why they were coming to Manchester. When they responded that they had been invited to tell their stories to the local Jewish community, the officers told them they would be questioned.

Levy said the Israelis were then detained for two hours and upon being released, the same officer told them, “They had to make sure that you are not going to do what you are doing in Gaza over here,” referring to the military offensive Israel launched against Hamas following the October 7 atrocities.
