BRITAIN is complicit in Israel’s killing of seven aid workers in Gaza, including three British citizens, anti-arms campaigners charge.

The workers were killed by a strike from a Hermes 450 drone manufactured by Elbit Systems.

The Hermes 450 is powered by a UK-made R902(W) Wankel engine, which is produced by Elbit subsidiary UAV Engines Limited in the UK, according to the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT).
