Dad of British-Israeli family killed says he’s haunted by missed call

The heartbroken father and husband of three British-Israeli women killed in a brutal drive-by shooting in West Bank has slammed the gunman who killed the two sisters and their mother in heinous crime. Rabbi Leo Dee spoke to a press conference from Erfat Settlement about the shooting that killed his daughters Rina, 15, and Maia, 20, instantly after 20 bullets were shot at them using a Kalashnikov rifle.

Their mother and Rabbi’s wife, Lucy, died on Monday after being shot twice in the shooting.

He described how their “family of seven is now a family of four” after his wife died from her wounds whilst being treated in hospital.

Speaking at the press conference, he said: “This anonymous terrorist with a Kalashnikov, what did he achieve, temporary victory? Where’s his future?

“Is he spending time with his children, to teach them decent life values? Does he even have children or is he a child himself? Is he the product of a broken culture that doesn’t differentiate between good and evil so he doesn’t see a future for himself?”

He added: “We will never accept terror as legitimate… There is no such thing as a moral equivalent between terrorist and victim. The terrorist is always bad.”

Rabbi called his family after being informed of the attack before tragically realising he had missed a call from his daughter Maia.

He said: “‘I hadn’t noticed it ring, I hadn’t picked up the phone, the feeling she called me during the attack and I wasn’t able to speak to her will come back and haunt me for a while.”

Rabbi said that he had seen an image on Instagram of his car with a bullet hole in it, and the family’s suitcases with blood on them, which compelled him to drive “like a lunatic” to the scene.
