The flag of Israel has been raised in Doncaster and the Mansion House lit up in blue as Doncaster politicians unite following the weekend’s attack on the country by terrorist group Hamas.

The blue and white flag was hoisted aloft in Sir Nigel Gresley Square while the Mansion House in the High Street shone blue to show ‘solidarity’ with Israel following the attacks which have left more than 900 people dead.

Meanwhile, nearly 690 people have been killed in Gaza after retaliatory Israeli air strikes.

Doncaster Mayor Ros Jones said: “This evening we lit up our Doncaster Mansion House blue in solidarity with the people of Israel.
