Bernard Cowan's family say he lost his life 'during the surprise terrorist attack on Israel' - and tributes have also been paid to a 20-year-old from London who was serving with the Israeli Defence Forces.
A Scottish man has been 'horrifically murdered' in Israel, his family has said - amid concerns that more than 10 Britons are feared dead or missing in the country. Bernard Cowan was originally from Glasgow - and in a statement, his family said: 'We are grieving the loss of our son and brother, who was horrifically murdered on Saturday during the surprise terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas.
At least 800 people have reportedly been killed in Israel and 560 have died in Gaza as Israel retaliated with airstrikes in an operation that has been dubbed 'Swords of Iron'. 'We all feel his loss' Nathanel Young's brother Eliot told Sky News: 'He always had strong Jewish pride. From a young age he has always wanted to play an important role in defending his country - it's something he talked about a lot.
