This is the best summary I could come up with:
Relatives based in the UK said the family visited at least once a year, and spoke of the “joy on [the girls’] faces as they ripped open gifts”.
On Monday, Lianne’s British family said she was “a beloved daughter, sister, mother, aunt and friend who enriched the lives of all those lucky enough to have known and loved her”.
WhatsApp messages seen by the BBC reveal the chaos that engulfed the Be’eri community when Hamas militants began targeting southern Israel with rockets at around 06:30 local time on 7 October.
Extended family members who were trying to contact their relatives in the kibbutz refrained from sending messages because they feared the sound of their phones could give them away if they were hiding from the gunmen.
International development minister Andrew Mitchell told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme the government was “extremely concerned” about missing British nationals in Israel.
He would not be drawn on whether discussions were taking place about the return of hostages via direct channels with Gazan authorities, but said the UK was doing “everything” it can to secure their release.
