Almost one in 10 young people are sympathetic to Hamas, a report has found.

Support for the Palestinian terror group comes despite its barbarous attack on southern Israel a year ago on Oct 7.

This led to the deaths of 1,195 people, including 815 civilians, the single largest number of Jewish casualties since the Holocaust.

But a survey by the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) found that more than one in eight (13 per cent) of 18 to 24-year-olds do not believe that reports of the attacks are true.

While just over half of the British public (55 per cent) believe the reports of survivors of the brutal Hamas incursion into Israeli communities a year ago, only 39 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds appear to.
