Israeli forces are searching for the gunmen responsible for killing two British-Israeli sisters and their mother in an attack in the West Bank.
The Palestinian militants suspected of carrying out the gun attack that killed Lucy Dee, 45, and her daughters, Maia and Rina, aged 20 and 15, were believed to be hiding in the northern West Bank. Troops from the Israel defence forces were leading the hunt for them.
Lucy, Rina and Maia, who had moved to Israel from the UK nine years ago, were shot on Friday as they were driving in the Jordan Valley in the northern West Bank on their way to a family holiday.
Their vehicle crashed and the gunmen went up to the car and opened fire on the women at close range, according to investigators.
The daughters died at the scene while the death of their mother, who had been in a coma since the attack, was announced on Monday.
Rabbi Leo Dee, the husband and father of the victims, was unhurt as he was in another car some distance away.
He said he would be “haunted” after missing a call from Maia during the attack, and described his wife and daughters as “three beautiful innocent young ladies in the prime of their lives”, urging people to post the Israeli flag on social media in their memory.
