British woman breaks down in tears as she tells how five of her family were killed in Israeli airstrike on Lebanon – and reveals guilt at fleeing to UK

A British woman broke down as she recounted how five members of her family were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon.

Sana Chamseddin spoke of her guilt at fleeing to the UK as she touched down in Heathrow Airport today clutching her son, leaving other members of her family in ‘unsafe places’.

Her uncle, his wife and his three daughters, all in their twenties, were killed when their home when the Lebanese city of Tyre was bombed by the Israel Defence Forces.

Two of the daughters were doctors and one was an engineer who was 10 days away form getting married, said Mrs Chamseddin. 

She wept as she recalled: ‘I was talking with my uncle over WhatsApp, he told me that it’s okay, it’s not going to bomb him, but we lost the connection when they bombed around us.’
