Sana Chamseddin’s uncle, his wife and their three daughters died in IDF bombing of Tyre
A British woman returning to the UK from Lebanon has said Israeli airstrikes killed five members of her family.
Sana Chamseddin’s uncle, his wife and their three daughters, all in their 20s, were killed when their home in the city of Tyre was bombed by the Israel Defense Forces, she told the PA news agency.
Two of the daughters were doctors and one was an engineer who was supposed to get married in 10 days, she said.
Chamseddin – a UK citizen along with her husband, Abbas – was arriving back at Heathrow airport, London, on Saturday with her children, two-month-old Zien and one-year-old Jawad.
Speaking of her guilt at escaping the besieged Lebanon, she said: “On Monday morning we wake up as a big bomb [hit] just beside our house, and we saw on the news that they said another round [of attacks] will start in one hour, so we didn’t take it seriously because we don’t fight – we are normal civilians.
“I was talking with my uncle over WhatsApp, he told me that it’s OK, it’s not going to bomb him, but we lost the connection when they bombed around us.
