Brit casualties after car ploughs into crowd on beach hours after two sisters from UK killed in Tel Aviv 'terror attack' | The Sun

BRIT casualties have been confirmed after a car ploughed into a crowd on a beach in Tel Aviv last night.

The horrific incident came just hours after two sisters from the UK were killed in a separate "terror attack" in the West Bank yesterday.


It was reported, police found several people injured and an overturned car near a Tel Aviv promenade, Israel, following the second attack.

The car had veered off the street near a popular bike and walking path along the beach.

Local cops said the suspected attacker was shot dead by officers.

At the time, it was understood the tourists hurt were from the UK and Italy, which has now been confirmed by authorities.

"My thoughts and prayers are with all those impacted."

The Italian man killed in the attack has been named by authorities as Alessandro Parini.

According to Italian media, he was a 35-year-old lawyer.

Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni expressed "deep sorrow" and "solidarity to the victim’s family, to the injured, and solidarity with the State of Israel for the cowardly attack that hit him," in a statement released by her office.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the scene of the attack and ordered the mobilization of police and army reservists to counter terrorism.

Only a few hours prior, a dad was left distraught after his two British daughters were killed in a suspected terror attack.

The victims, a 15-year-old girl and a woman in her 20s, died at the scene after their car was ambushed by gunmen in the West Bank.

Their mother, 48, was also seriously injured when their car was attacked near the Hamra settlement, about 30 miles north of Jerusalem.

The family is understood to have moved from the UK to Israel in 2005 and settled in Efrat, near the Palestinian city of Bethlehem.

It was believed to be a cowardly and indiscriminate revenge strike launched as tensions spiralled following police raids on the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

Gunmen are believed to have targeted the car simply because it bore Israeli registration plates.
