The tot and other children were pictured at a press conference in London today.
On Wednesday, Jake Marlowe was confirmed as the fourth Brit killed.
The Londoner’s parents, Lisa and Michel, said they were “heartbroken” after receiving the “crushing news”.
Jake, who moved to Israel two years ago, was working as a security guard at the Nova music festival, which took place close to the border with Gaza in the south of Israel.
Meanwhile, Scot Bernard Cowan, 57, was murdered by the terrorist group during the horror attacks.
And Corporal Nathanel Young, 20, who was serving in the Israeli Defence Forces, was confirmed dead on Saturday.
Daniel Darlington, 34, a UK photographer, was also killed while visiting the country.
His sister wrote on Instagram that he was “murdered by terrorists”.
It comes as the UK government has ordered rescue flights to rescue British citizens from Israel as the war rages on for a sixth day.
The flight flight is expected to leave Tel Aviv today.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: “Vulnerable British nationals will be prioritised for these flights.
“At this stage we will contact those who are eligible for the flights directly and British nationals should not make their way to the airport unless they are called.
“Since Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel, UK government officials have been working around the clock in London, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to support British citizens in the country.
