The British Government would be expected to stop the militants immediately and in the absence of any effective action the governments of the countries affected would then take action to deal with them.
It's possible that in the course of that action innocent British lives would be lost and British property destroyed.
If the Palestinian government could not deal with the Militants why did they not request aid from the UN? Why did countries objecting to the air strikes not offer to put their troops on the ground to stop the militants?
All of this was preventable. Why was then that effective preventative action was not taken?

Maybe Israel should have dropped the blockade of Gaza and let in badly needed medicine and food.
