Two British-Israeli sisters have been killed and their mother badly injured in a gun attack on their car in the West Bank. The attack took place near an Israeli settlement in the Jordan Valley and the girls’ father witnessed the incident from a separate car following behind, local officials said.
On a bloody day in the Israel-Palestine dispute, there was further bloodshed in Tel Aviv when at least one person was killed and six others – including British citizens – were wounded when a car was driven into a number of people in Tel Aviv.
The family of the two sisters killed in the West Bank were residents of the Efrat settlement, near the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, according to Oded Revivi, the settlement’s mayor. He said: “With great sorrow we received an update on a shocking terrorist attack in which terrorists shot a car including a mother and her two daughters, residents of Efrat.
