UK-Israeli mother wounded in West Bank attack dies

The mother of a British-Israeli family who was wounded in a suspected Palestinian gun attack on Friday which killed two of her daughters has died.

Lucy Dee, 48, had been in a coma since the attack in the occupied West Bank.

Her daughters Rina, 15, and Maia, 20, were buried on Sunday in the settlement of Kfar Etzion in front of their father and three siblings.

The family moved to Israel nine years ago from the UK, where Lucy’s husband had served as a rabbi in north London.

Thousands of mourners attended the emotionally charged funeral of the sisters. In his eulogy, Rabbi Leo Dee asked: “How will I explain to Lucy what has happened to our two precious gifts, Maia and Rina when she wakes up from her coma?”

Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem announced that Lucy (who was also known by her Hebrew name, Leah) Dee had died on Monday morning “despite great and constant efforts.”
