Father mourns murdered daughters at West Bank funeral
By Lucy Williamson and Marita MoloneyThe father of two British-Israeli sisters killed in a shooting in the occupied West Bank embraced their bodies while mourners sang songs of grief at their funeral on Sunday.
The bodies were brought out, one covered in black cloth, one in blue - a Star of David embroidered on each, in gold and silver. The victims were travelling in one of three cars on their way to Tiberias in the Galilee for a family holiday. He said Maia, who was volunteering for national service in a high school, was "wonderful, beautiful, had a lot of friends... she was very keen to do a second year of volunteering".
He then drove to the scene. He was not allowed access but was handed his daughter's ID card, which confirmed the worst.Getty Images
