Three former British servicemen were among the victims of an Israeli air strike which killed seven aid workers in Gaza yesterday.

Former Royal Marines James Henderson and John Chapman and an ex-Army soldier James Kirby died in a drone strike on an aid convoy that triggered worldwide condemnation.

The team, which was providing security for the World Central Kitchen charity, were hit on Monday as they moved food from a warehouse to distribute to Gaza’s starving population.

Along with the three British nationals providing security, four aid workers were also killed when the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse.

The aid workers included Australian Lalzawmi ‘Zomi’ Frankcom, a Polish national Damian Sobol, an American-Canadian dual citizen Jacob Flickinger and Palestinian Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha.
