The Facts
During a raid into the northern West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli forces on Thursday killed three Palestinian fighters, two of which Israel said shot dead a British-Israeli settler in the West Bank and her two daughters in April.
Lucy Dee was killed last month alongside her two daughters when a car they were traveling in was shot at in the West Bank in April. The sisters died immediately from their injuries while their mother succumbed to her wounds in hospital several days later; they lived in the Israeli settlement of Efrat.
The Spin
Pro-Palestine narrative
Israel's actions in the West Bank continue to push Palestinians into a corner as it assassinates members of Palestinian resistance factions. It's ultimately Israel that is to blame for the increase in violence throughout the holy land. Emboldened by international silence after killing more Palestinians last year than in any other calendar year since the Second Intifada, the occupation is becoming even more violent.
Pro-Israel narrative
Those killed in Thursday's raid were terrorists who brutally murdered an innocent woman and her two daughters. Israel will not allow terrorists to have a safe haven anywhere in the West Bank, and every Palestinian attack will be either countered or responded to with lethal force. Lucy Dee's family will at least have some resolution knowing that the killers have been neutralized.
