(Sky News) A police officer from West Yorkshire has been given a community order after posting images of Hamas fighters on Whatsapp, days after the 7 October attacks on Israel.
Mohammed Adil, from Wibsey in Bradford, escaped a prison sentence for supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation after telling the court he hoped to retrain and study for a PhD.
The 26-year-old had arrived at an earlier court hearing wearing the black and white keffiyeh adopted by Palestinian supporters.
He accepted that he had posted two images supporting the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the banned terrorist group, following the attacks in which Hamas killed 1,139 people.
