The sisters shot dead in terror attack

The two young women, who held dual Israeli citizenship, were travelling with their mother Leah, 48, when their car was targeted.

She remains in critical condition in hospital. Her husband witnessed the attack from another car as the family convoy drove near their home in Efrat settlement, near Bethlehem.

Last night it was confirmed that later that day three other Britons were injured when a car ploughed into tourists in Tel Aviv, killing a 35-year-old Italian, named as Alessandro Parini.

Two Italian tourists were also wounded when Yousef Abu Jaber drove his car along the city's beachside esplanade, into ploughing pedestrians.

Jaber, from the Israeli-Arab city of Kafr Qasim, whose overturned car after the attack, was shot dead by police after he was reportedly spotted reaching for a rifle.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her "deep sorrow" at Mr Parini's death and described the attack as "cowardly".
