Bodies of Lianne, Noiya and Yahel Sharabi were found 'cuddled together'

The parents of a British-Israeli woman killed in her home by Hamas alongside her Two Children say they were found " all cuddled together".

Bristol-born Lianne Sharabi, 48, and her two teenage daughters were killed when Hamas stormed their home in Kibbutz Be'eri, Israel, on 7 October.

Gill and Pete Brisley said Lianne was a " devoted mother" who " tried to protect her daughters to the end".

" Lianne was doing what A Mother would do - holding her babies in her arms. "

Mr and Mrs Brisley spoke to The Bbc about their daughter and grandchildren Noiya and Yahel.

" Our three Beautiful Girls are no longer With Us , " Mrs Brisley said.

Describing Lianne as a " wonderful" person, Mrs Brisley said that Israel was normally a " very friendly" and " a lovely place to bring up a family".

" Where they were living, under normal circumstances, was the safest place to bring up kids: great nurseries, schools, they knew everybody and they did sport, bike rides, visits to other parts of Israel, " She Said .

That was until Hamas moved in on their home on 7 October, A House they had moved to three years before.

Mr Brisley said he first saw The News on the TV.

" I Switched On the TV, saw there was trouble, sent messages to Lianne to ask her if she was OK, and there was no response, " He Said .

" I think by then she had Already Gone .

" Their house was one of the nearest to The Fence where the Hamas soldiers came in. Everybody on The Street was killed or badly injured. "

Mrs Brisley said they later found out the bodies of their daughter and grandchildren had been found by a soldier " all cuddled together with Lianne doing what A Mother would do - holding her babies in her arms, trying to protect them at the end".

" A small comfort but a comfort nevertheless, " she added.

" I have horrible images in my mind, waking or sleeping. All I can hope was that it was a quick death. "

Mrs Brisley said Lianne, who went to Mangotsfield primary school, was a " happy child" Growing Up and had " always wanted to travel the world".

She Said Lianne eventually moved to Israel from Staple Hill in Bristol aged 19 to work on a Kibbutz - a community where people voluntarily live and work together.

" She went to Israel on a working holiday there, three months later, she rang to say she met A Man , " Mrs Brisley said.

She Said Lianne then built her life there, learning and becoming fluent in Hebrew and having two daughters, 13-year-old Yahel and Noiya, 16.

" They were beautiful and lovely grandchildren, " Mrs Brisley said.

" They ran up to us, put their arms around us every time we got to The Gates of The Airport . "

'Whole family together'

Mrs Brisley said Yahel had " so much energy". She had started scuba diving lessons and " never sat still".

" She had a keen interest in the Natural World , stars and space, and loved animals, " She Said .

" Noiya was more quiet, but very affectionate, very caring and compassionate, she spent a lot of time looking after disabled children and adults. She wanted to make a career in Social Work . "

Mrs Brisley said while she could not hold a tune, Noiya loved to dance and sing.

" To make us laugh she would sing at The Top of her voice, and chase us round The Kitchen . What a dreadful voice but a great dancer, " she added.

Mrs Brisley said she last saw Her Daughter and grandchildren In July , after they attended Yahel's Bat Mitzvah, where they spent their two-week holiday " playing in the pool" and " playing silly games".

" The whole family was together, " She Said .

Unable to travel for The Funeral , The Family said they said their goodbyes by watching videos of The Service on WhatsApp.

" There were hundreds of people there. They were a very popular family, The Girls were loved by everyone.

" We feel Numb . . it is what it is, we cant change it, " Mrs Brisley said. " We must get through it. "
