Two Palestinian gunmen who shot dead a British-Israeli mother and her two daughters last month have been killed, Israel’s domestic security service said.

A third militant who had aided the gunmen was also killed in the raid by Israeli forces.

Maia and Rina Dee, aged 20 and 15, died in the West Bank when their car was shot at and forced off the road on 7 April.

Their mother, Lucy Dee, 45, died in hospital from her wounds a few days later.

The attack happened near Hamra, about 30 miles north of Jerusalem, but the family lived in the settlement of Efrat – close to Bethlehem.

Maia and Rina’s father, Rabbi Leo Dee said: “I and the kids were delighted to hear that the terrorists were apprehended and neutralised today and eliminated today, and most of all that it was done in a way that apparently did not endanger the lives of Israeli soldiers because that was one of the most important things from our family’s perspective.

“I have requested from the Shabak (Israel Security Agency) that since we cannot sit and interview live the terrorists… that we should have the opportunity perhaps to interview live on television members of the family of the terrorist – perhaps the parents, siblings or the parents or the siblings.

“So that is my message.

“The question we would like to ask them is: what was their purpose in this particular attack, what is their vision for a better world?”
