Two British-Israeli sisters have been buried in an emotional service after being killed in a gunfight.

Maia, 20, and Rina Dee, 15, were buried today in a cemetery in Kfar Etzion, Israel’s West Bank.

Gunmen shot the couple dead and left their 45-year-old mother seriously injured when they crashed into a car in the Jordan Valley on Friday.

The attack, carried out by Palestinian raiders, came just hours after another tourist was killed and five others injured in Tel Aviv.

The girls’ father, Rabbi Leo Dee, witnessed their deaths from another haunted vehicle.

Hundreds attended Sunday’s service and funeral, which featured photos of mourners bursting into tears.

Rabbi Dee was seen hugging his daughter’s bodies as others chanted.

He said in an emotional speech at the service: “Maia and Rina, you loved us, you inspired us and in return we will love you forever.

“May your souls be bound in the bond of eternal life.

“And may we, and none else in the world, ever experience such sorrow.”

On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement naming the sisters.

He said: “On behalf of all citizens of Israel, I express my condolences to the Di Mafart family for the murder of the two wonderful sisters.

“In these moments when the family is fighting for his life, I join with the entire nation of Israel in praying for his safety and we all extend our condolences and strength to this dear family at this time of great sadness.”

Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy also spoke, saying: “I am shocked by reports of the murder of two British sisters in a horrific and cowardly attack on the West Bank.

“My thoughts are with her family and loved ones. The increasing civilian casualties of this cycle of violence demonstrate the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to de-escalate.”

Terrorist group Hamas has praised the incidents in both the Jordan Valley and Tel Aviv.

They were allegedly carried out in retaliation for raids by Israeli forces on the Al-Asqa Mosque in Jerusalem earlier this week, which left dozens of worshipers injured.

British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has since spoken by phone to Eli Cohen, his Israeli counterpart, to emphasize the need for calm amid heightened tensions during the rare gathering of Passover, Ramadan and Easter.

Israel recently launched attacks on southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip in retaliation for nearly three dozen rocket attacks launched from there.
