Two British sisters who died in a shooting in the West Bank have been named by Israel's prime minister.
Benjamin Netanyahu shared his"condolences" with their relatives on Twitter on Saturday evening.
He wrote:"On behalf of all the citizens of Israel, I send my condolences to the Di Mafart family for the murder of the two wonderful sisters, Rina and Maya Zakharan, in the severe attack in the Bekaa. "In these moments, if the family is fighting for its life, and together with the entire nation of Israel, I pray for its safety, and we all send our condolences and strength to this dear family in this moment of great sorrow."
Sky News Middle East correspondent Ali Bunkall said it's believed the British victims of the West Bank attack moved to Israel in around 2005."It's just a matter of time, and not much time, until we settle the score," Mr Netanyahu said.No group has claimed responsibility but a Hamas spokesman hailed it as"retaliation for the crimes committed by Israel in the West Bank and the Al Aqsa mosque".
A UK Foreign Office spokesperson had said in an earlier statement:"We are saddened to hear about the deaths of two British-Israeli citizens and the serious injuries sustained by a third individual.
