Israel-Gaza attacks: Glasgow's Jewish community holds vigil
Getty ImagesGlasgow's Jewish community has held a candle-lit vigil for the victims of the Hamas attack on Israel.
A large crowd gathered on the steps of the city's Royal Concert Hall to remember those killed in the conflict.
The death toll in Israel has reached 1,200, with more than 900 people killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza.
Among those remembered was grandfather Bernard Cowan, who was confirmed on Monday as the first Scottish victim of the Hamas assault on Israel.
Mr Cowan grew up in the Glasgow area and settled in Israel, near the Gaza border, with his wife and three children.
On Wednesday, an official UK source told the BBC 17 British nationals, including children, are dead or missing in Israel.
