Schoolfriends of the two sisters sat by the graves crying, not wanting to leave.
In the cemetery of a small moshav, under the shade of the trees, a British mother and her two daughters were buried beneath the soil of Israel, in the land they made their home. Lianne, Noiya and Yahel Sharabi were killed in Be'eri, on the morning of Saturday 7 October when the peace of Shabbat and the gentle sanctuary of the Kibbutzim were shattered by the hatred of Hamas.
'What you see now is what happened when we fail, when Israel fails, even just for a minute, to protect their citizens,' Lianne's brother-in-law Raz told Sky News. Lianne's husband and the girls' father Eli is thought to be in Gaza, one of the 220 hostages whose fate is unknown and which hangs heavy on the future of Israel.
