Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has said his in-laws are trapped in Gaza after visiting family, leaving him worried for their safety amid escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas. Yousaf's parents-in-law were unable to leave Gaza after a surprise Hamas attack on Israel over the weekend. Yousaf said authorities warned Gaza will be "obliterated" but safe passage for his in-laws cannot be guaranteed. The First Minister condemned the Hamas attack but said innocent civilians like his in-laws are paying the price.
