The mother of two British-Israeli sisters killed in a shooting attack in the West Bank has died of her wounds.

Israel's Hadassah hospital announced the death of Lucy Dee, 45, on Monday.

She had been in a coma after the family's car was attacked by suspected Palestinian militants on Friday.

Her daughters, Maia and Rina Dee, aged 20 and 15, were also killed when their car was shot at and forced off the road.

The husband and father of the victims, who witnessed the attack from another car, was unharmed but Mrs Dee was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition.

Rabbi Leo Dee broke down at his daughters' funeral on Sunday as he paid tribute to his "beautiful angels".

He also spoke of his hopes that his wife would recover.

"How will I explain to Lucy what has happened to our two precious gifts?" he asked.

The attack happened near Hamra, about 30 miles north of Jerusalem, but the family are believed to have lived in a settlement near Bethlehem.

Sky's Middle East correspondent said the targeting of cars with Israeli number plates in the West Bank had become "far more commonplace in the last few weeks".

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the scene and has vowed to catch the killers.

He said extra border police and IDF (Israel Defence Forces) had been called up "to confront the terror attacks".

The Board of Deputies of British Jews tweeted "our hearts go out to the Dee family".

It added: "Our community, alongside Jewish communities around the world, mourns their loss. May their memories be for eternal blessing."

An Italian tourist was also killed on the same day as the attack on the Dee family when a car drove at people in Tel Aviv.

Police shot the attacker dead but other tourists were also hurt in the incident near the Charles Claure Promenade.

Friday's attacks came after Israe launched strikes on Lebanon and Gaza in response to rocket attacks on Thursday that it blamed on militant group Hamas.
