A British-Israeli lawyer is holding out hope of being reunited with family held hostage by Hamas after being told the gunmen had murdered his sister.

Ahal Besorai said his sister Yonat Or, 50, her husband, Dror, 50, and two of their three children, who are 15 and 13, were seen being dragged out of the safe room of their burning home in Be’eri kibbutz by Hamas militants on 7 October.
