Earlier on Friday, the two British-Israeli sisters were killed in a shooting in the West Bank.
Their father was reportedly driving in front and turned around to find his wife and daughters had been shot.
The three were shot while on the road near the Hamra junction in the northern part of the Jordan Valley.
Troops found bullet holes in the Israeli vehicle and deemed it a deliberate attack.
22 bullet casings were found.
Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy said: 'I am shocked by reports of the killing of two British sisters in an appalling and cowardly attack in the West Bank.
The family were from London and had emigrated to Efrat, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank.
