A group of Israeli students are celebrating the "phenomenal" success of their tour of British universities.

The 25 students made up part of the largest pro-active pro-Israel campaign in recent years and travelled to campuses in London, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham on a "battle bus" to mark Israel Awareness Week.

Individual university Jewish Societies also ran their own events.

On Monday, the Israelis took part in a "bridge-building" activity at Goldsmiths, University of London. Despite efforts by student union officials to have them removed from the campus, university security officials allowed the Israelis to stay.
