Yahel, 13, disappeared after the terrorists stormed the Be'eri Kibbutz in southern Israel close to the eastern border with the Gaza strip. Her mother, Lianne, who was born in Bristol was killed in the attack.

Their family, who have not released their surname have confirmed Yahel is dead. Her 16-year-old sister Noiya and the girls' father, Eli are still missing.

The sisters had not been heard from since the terror group launched its attack across the border on October 7, according to the family.
