Two British-Israeli sisters have been killed and their mother has been injured in a shooting in the occupied West Bank.
They were in a car that crashed after being shot at near the Hamra Junction, in the north of the Jordan Valley.
The mayor of the settlement of Efrat said the sisters, who were in their 20s, and their 48-year-old mother lived there and were immigrants from the UK.
The UK Foreign Office said it was "saddened" by the news.
"We are saddened to hear about the deaths of two British-Israeli citizens and the serious injuries sustained by a third individual," a statement said.
The Israeli military said its forces were blocking roads in the area and had "started a pursuit of the terrorists".
The shooting took place hours after Israeli warplanes carried out air strikes in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
The military said they were in retaliation for the biggest rocket attack on Israel launched from Lebanon for 17 years, which it blamed on the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
