| Lucy Dee had been in a coma since the attack on friday | |
| The mother from 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". | |
