Two British-Israeli sisters have been killed in a gun attack in the occupied West Bank and Britons were injured when a car rammed into tourists in Tel Aviv during a surge in violence.

The pair of attacks by Palestinian assailants on Friday came after Israel launched retaliatory air strikes at Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
