Briton, 20, serving in Israeli army killed in Hamas attack
The Guardian says a 20-year-old British man serving in the Israeli army has been killed in an attack by Hamas militants, while another British citizen is missing.
The family of Nathanel Young, who was serving with the Israel Defence Forces when he was killed on Saturday, said: “We’re heartbroken to share that our little brother Nathanel Young was tragically killed on the Gaza border yesterday.”
Young joined the IDF in August 2022, according to his Facebook page. He was a keen DJ and had attended the Jewish Free School in London. His sister, Gaby Shalev, said she was “in absolute shock”.
His death came as 26-year-old Jake Marlowe, who went to the same school, was reported missing following the surprise attacks by Hamas launched on Saturday.
