King Charles has said he is "appalled" after an attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists last week.

The King also described the invasion of southern Israel by the terror group as a “barbaric act of terrorism”.

Israel has vowed unprecedented retaliation against Hamas after they stormed through the Gaza border fence on Saturday and shot hundreds of Israelis in their homes, on the streets and at an outdoor music festival.

In a statement on Wednesday afternoon, Buckingham Palace went on to say that Charles was said to be "extremely concerned" about the situation.
