British-Israeli Woman Dies After Brutal West Bank Gun Attack That Killed Her Two Daughters
Family Targeted in Shocking Assault
Lucy, a British-Israeli mother, was left in a coma after a suspected Palestinian gun attack in the West Bank on Friday. Tragically, her two daughters Maia and Rina were killed in the same brutal ambush. The family had moved to Israel from the UK nine years ago when Lucy’s husband, Rabbi Leo Dee, took a position as a rabbi.
Heartbreaking Funeral Draws Thousands
Their daughters’ funeral on Sunday saw thousands of mourners gather to mourn the devastating loss. Rabbi Lee Dee gave a gut-wrenching speech, revealing his heartbreak and fear of how to explain this nightmare to Lucy if she wakes from her coma.

On Monday morning, Lucy sadly died, deepening the tragedy. The attack was savage and merciless. Investigations show gunmen came close to the family’s car before opening fire. Police recovered 22 bullet casings, suggesting the use of a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
Israeli PM Condemns Attack as ‘Severe Terror’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended his condolences to the Dee family, branding the attack a “severe terror attack.” The region’s ongoing tensions have once again caused needless deaths, highlighting the dire need for peace.
