The attack happened near Hamra, about 30 miles north of Jerusalem, but the family lived in the settlement of Efrat - close to Bethlehem.Maia and Rina's father, Rabbi Leo Dee, said:"I and the kids were delighted to hear that the terrorists were apprehended and eliminated today, and most of all that it was done in a way that apparently did not endanger the lives of Israeli soldiers because that was one of the most important things from our family's perspective.
"I have requested from the Shabak [Israel's Security Agency] that since we cannot sit and interview live the terrorists... that we should have the opportunity perhaps to interview live on television members of the family of the terrorist - perhaps the parents, siblings or the parents or the siblings.
Israel has been raiding West Bank villages, towns and cities for more than a year in what it says is a bid to dismantle militant networks and prevent future attacks. But Palestinians see these as Israel further strengthening its 56-year occupation of lands they seek for a future independent state. Some 250 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the raids began - Israel has said most of these have been militants, but stone-throwing youths and people not involved in the confrontations have also been killed.
