Inside horror house where Brit girl, 13, was murdered as chilling pictures show savagery of fanatical Hamas butchers
CHILLING pictures of the house where a British mum and daughter were murdered have laid bare the savagery of Hamas terrorists.
Yahel Sharabi, 13, died with her Bristol-born mum Lianne, 48, in the Israeli village of Be’eri.
Uncle Sharon Sharabi broke down while watching shocking video footage of the bedroom where Yahel was slain in the invasion of Israel.
Moments after finding out she was dead he told The Sun: “Our suffering could not be worse than this — my heart is broken.
“Yes, having seen the pictures I can confirm that the room with the child’s bed is Yahel. I can see the blood and try not to imagine what might have happened there.
“It took all of my strength to look at these images but I am grateful to you for showing them to us — they will tell the world what the terrorists did.”
It has been confirmed Yahel died alongside her mum Lianne while her sister Noiya, 16, dad Eli, 51 and uncle Yossi, 53 were missing or kidnapped.
Chilling pictures of the kibbutz farming community near Gaza where they lived lay bare the savagery of the Hamas butchers.
The Sharabis’ smart, recently built two-storey cul-de-sac property appears to be untouched outside but the kitchen and dining area is littered with bloodied debris and bullet casings.
Their beloved dog Moka, a big friendly cross-breed, can be seen lying dead under a white sheet close to the sofa.
Smiling pictures of the family, the sisters skylarking at parties and barbecues, line a wall.
Half-deflated party balloons in an upstairs bedroom also offer a heartbreaking hint of happier times which have been shattered by unimaginable cruelty.
The family’s strong British links are evident in a bottle of HP Sauce in the larder — with a bloodied handprint on its open door.
But worse sights await in a hallway where a huge blackened smear of blood appears to be the spot where Lianne died.
And upstairs, another bloodstain tells its horror story in a room where Yahel slept — heavily staining the carpet close to a pair of pink pyjamas and vanity case.
Sharon, 48, spoke to us just after getting news he had dreaded that Yahel was among the dead.
The IT procurement manager sobbed as he watched video of the family’s home and said: “The last time I was there was for a barbecue when Lianne teased me because I don’t drink — because she was British and loved to drink — like everyone else in the UK!
“She’d also tease me because she said I lacked British manners and politeness and would say ‘Everyone in the country’s so rude!’
“She was a woman who loved living in Israel but was also very proud to be British.”
Sharon also paid a fond tribute to his lost nieces.
SHARON’S TRIBUTE
He said: “Yahel was also a British citizen and loved life so much — I went to her mum’s wedding in Bristol and it was a wonderful day.
“But now Yahel and her mother are both dead and her sister, father and uncle are missing or kidnapped — our family has been destroyed by inhumans with no souls. Yahel was a wonderful, happy, friendly little girl who didn’t understand all the hate surrounding us and wanted everyone to live happily together.
“She was also very funny with a great sense of humour and loved to make us laugh.”
Sharon added: “But Noiya is older and had more of a sense of the dangers we all face living so close to Gaza and to the neighbours so determined to kill us.
“She’s 16 but seemed older in some ways and would phone around the family every day checking everyone was OK.
“But now they’re gone. I’m still in shock after hearing Yahel has been identified among the dead and her big sister is missing and we have no idea whether she is alive, dead or a hostage in Gaza.
“I pray for a miracle but I have to say part of me thinks it’s better to be dead than in the hands of these people.”
Myself and photographer Doug Seeburg travelled to the smashed farming village of Be’eri to seek out the Sharabi family neighbourhood.
And as we walked blood-stained streets strewn with battle debris, bullet-holed cars, burned-out homes and abandoned Hamas motorcycles we video-called the sisters’ grieving uncle.
Gazing open-mouthed at the devastation beamed live from my phone, Sharon told me: “I can’t believe what they have done — there’s devastation everywhere. You are standing at the spot where Yahel and Noiya and my brothers were taken.”
Walking along a street strewn with the debris of war and blood-stained, black Hamas fatigues he added: “You’re passing my friend’s house where we had so many happy times.
“It is terrible to see the kibbutz deserted and damaged after so many deaths.
“We are grieving for our family and for the loss of the lives we had — I don’t know how we will rebuild but we must try.”
We went on to photograph a smart, recently built home which Sharon believes may be the property owned by his older brother after he dropped a pin on a Google map to help direct us there.
But our video call was cut short when we were sent diving for cover as an alert sounded and two rockets fired by Hamas and targeting the kibbutz slammed into the ground nearby.
Israel Defence Forces soldiers then quickly moved us out of the area as another alert sent us fleeing into bomb shelters.
Sharon said he knew nothing of the fate of Noiya and her father as no trace had been found of them since the October 7 invasion carnage.
But he is certain his eldest brother Yossi was kidnapped, as witnesses in the kibbutz saw him being frogmarched away in the direction of Gaza by gunmen.
Sharon said: “The last we heard from them was a text message from Eli at around 11.30am on the morning of the attacks.
“It read something like, ‘They are shooting, they have smashed our house, they are killing children. They are going to murder us! Where are the IDF – help!’”
“I was miles away and felt awful — so powerless. I will never forget that day.”
Sharon said it was unclear how or why the sisters’ British-born mum Lianne was singled out for execution among 108 other people killed by the Hamas terrorists at the 1,100-strong kibbutz.
He and other brother Raz yesterday broke the news of Lianne’s death to her shocked parents Peter and Gill Brisley, aged in their 70s and living in South Wales, and her brother Stephen.
The family is now desperately waiting for any fresh information about the fates of Noiya, kibbutz finance chief Eli and security manager Yossi.
Sharon insisted: “We are not the kind of people who demand revenge — we don’t want more innocent people to die and we want this to stop.
“We also don’t believe Palestinian people support this terror.
“But this will continue as long as Hamas is in control and we have to stop them — we have to win.”
