Two British teenage sisters are among those missing after last weekend’s Hamas attack on Israel.

The family of Noiya, 13, and Yahel, 16, believe they were kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri, and taken across the border into Gaza.

Their mother Lianne, who is British and born in Bristol, was murdered in the 7 October attack, it was confirmed on Sunday night.

The family has not released the girls’ surname.

On Monday, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said six British citizens had been killed in the attacks, and a further 10 are missing.

In a statement to MPs, Mr Sunak called for the immediate release of the 199 people taken hostage.
