Palestinian men who gunned down a woman and her two daughters in the occupied West Bank have been blown up by a drone. Israeli forces announced they killed two gunmen behind the attack on British-Israeli Lucy, Maia and Rina Dee.
A third militant who had aided the two gunmen was also killed in the raid, Israel’s Shin Bet domestic security service said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said there had been three fatalities during the raid in the city of Nablus. Shin Bet later said the three men were from the Palestinian Islamist armed group Hamas, which rules the blockaded Gaza Strip. At the time, Hamas praised the shooting, without claiming responsibility, but they have now confirmed the gunmen were members.Maia and Rina were the children of Rabbi Leo Dee, originally from London, who witnessed the incident from a separate vehicle which was following behind theirs.Rabbi Dee was seen to embrace his daughter’s bodies while others sang.
He said in an emotional speech during the service: ‘Maia and Rina, you have loved us, you have inspired us, and in turn we will love you forever.
