Lord David Cameron travelled to Israel late on Tuesday to discuss Tel Aviv's response to the drone and missile barrage, having previously urged Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu to show restraint.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delivered a similar message to Mr Netanyahu in a phone call on Tuesday, saying it was "time for calm heads to prevail". However, speaking to broadcasters in Jerusalem yesterday, the Foreign Secretary said Israel appeared to be preparing to retaliate.
He said: "It is right to have made our views clear about what should happen next, but it is clear the Israelis are making the decision to act. We hope they do so in a way that does as little to escalate this as possible and in a way that, as I said yesterday, is smart as well as tough."
