Israeli occupation authorities have expelled a 10-member British security team that was conducting training operations for Palestinian Authority security personnel in the occupied West Bank, according to the Shehab Wire.

The expulsion was reported by the British newspaper Telegraph, though the specific timing of the removal and Israel's stated justification for the action have not been detailed in available accounts.
