A British national, 19-year-old Binyamin Needham, was killed in action while fighting for the Israeli occupation forces during their invasion of the Gaza Strip.

The soldier settled in occupied Palestine a decade ago alongside his family and later joined the Israeli occupation forces as almost all settlers do. 

His death marks the second instance of a British settler being killed in action while fighting for the Israeli occupation forces. The first British national who was killed was Nathanel Young.

The Times of Israel reported that the British soldier served with the 601st Battalion of the Combat Engineering Corps.

Needham was killed just two days into his deployment into the Gaza Strip.

The UK is an active perpetrator of the war on Gaza, with its complicity taking numerous forms.

The British Defense Ministry announced Sunday that it would start conducting surveillance flights over Gaza, occupied Palestine ("Israel"), and the Eastern Mediterranean, claiming that operations aim to locate sites of captives held by the Palestinian Resistance.

A range of different types of unarmed aircraft will be deployed for the mission, including Shadow R1s, which are primarily used to collect intelligence, defense officials said, adding that information will be relayed to the Israeli occupation authorities.

“The safety of British nationals is our utmost priority,” the statement read.

Britain confirmed that five UK citizens went missing after the Palestinian Resistance's operation on October 7, some of whom it suggests are being held captives in Gaza by the Resistance, but without confirming how many so far.

"Surveillance aircraft will be unarmed, do not have a combat role, and will be tasked solely to locate hostages. Only information relating to hostage rescue will be passed to the relevant authorities responsible for hostage [captive] rescue," the ministry claimed.
