‘We have lost everything’: Britons fleeing Lebanon say family was wiped out by airstrike

British people fleeing Lebanon following an Israeli airstrike say they have "lost everything", including family members in the attack.

Arriving at Heathrow Airport this morning (28 September), one woman, who was on the phone with her uncle when he and his family were killed by bombs, described what she witnessed.

"We woke up from a big bomb just beside our house", she told PA.

"We didn't take it seriously because we don't fight, we're normal civilians."

At least six people were killed in the strikes.
