At a minimum the RAF has operated hundreds of surveillance flights over Gaza.

If I recall correctly this was in direct response to British citizens being kidnapped and held hostage inside Gaza. These were intelligence sorties with the express aim to help locate UK citizens.
Literally hilarious.
So UK citizens were not kidnapped? Or are you implying the UK were not doing intelligence flights, but were attacking Gaza directly, or had boots on the ground directly? Because I have seen absolutely zero reporting to infer that.

"Robot boots 30,000 feet above the ground" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
I guess those Russian drones in Ukraine aren’t military combatants then?
Well the Russian drones are munitions, so that's not comparable. Is the UK dropping bombs on Gaza? I have seen zero reporting to say they have.
The UK might be flying spy planes outside it's airspace when it's citizens were kidnapped. That's not a "combatant". Was the UK a combatant when flying spy planes near the Ukraine border?
I think you are way off the mark based on reporting, I'm not even sure how you are coming to these stated opinions.
