TERROR TRAGEDIES
Four people were murdered in two terrorist attacks claimed by Hamas over Passover. On April 7, two sisters from Efrat – Maia Dee, 20, and Rina Dee, 15 – were shot dead in an attack near the Hamra Junction on Route 57 in the Jordan Valley as they drove to Tiberias with their mother, Lucy Dee, 48, who succumbed to her wounds four days later at Hadassah Ein Kerem. Their car was driven off the road, and they were fired on at close range by Palestinian gunmen, who were sought after by security forces. “Our family of seven is now a family of four,” said Rabbi Leo Dee, who made aliyah with his family from London in 2014. The family donated Lucy Dee’s organs to save the lives of five people. On the night of that attack, Alessandro Parini, 35, an Italian tourist, was killed and seven others were wounded in a car-ramming attack on the Tel Aviv promenade. The terrorist, a 45-year-old Arab Israeli from Kafr Qassem, was shot dead by a police officer at a nearby gas station.
