The brothers, hearing their dead mother’s heartbeat, burst into tears.
The daughters of a British citizen of Israeli nationality, who was killed in a terror attack in the Israeli-occupied West Bank last month, had an emotional time when they met the person whose mother had had her heart transplanted.
During heightened tensions in Palestine, British Lucy Dee, 48, and her daughters Maia (20) and Rina (15) were shot dead last month. Israel announced today that two Palestinians, who it says killed three British Israelis, were killed in their raid on the West Bank.

Brit Lucy Dee’s two surviving daughters Keren (19) and Tali (17) are reunited with Lital Valenci who clings to life with her mother’s heart. The two sisters, hearing her mother’s heartbeat in Valenci’s chest in front of the cameras, lived sadness and happiness together.
The moments where Valenci had the brothers listen to his heartbeat through a stethoscope also caused a sensation on social media. In the incident that occurred at the hospital in Israel, it was seen that the brothers could not hold back their tears when they heard their mother’s heartbeat.

5 PEOPLE SAVED BY ORGAN DONATION
Israel announced that the Palestinians opened fire on the vehicle in which Lucy Dee was traveling, the girls were killed in the incident and mother Lucy Dee died a few days later at the hospital where she was taken. Explaining that she learned that Lucy Dee would undergo heart transplant surgery hours after her death, Lital Valenci said: “I saw the news and was very touched when I found out that she is the woman whose heart I will take.”
Rabbi Leo Dee, who lost his wife and two daughters in the attack, said that as a family they decided to donate organs because saving lives is so valuable.
According to the Israel Organ Donation Center, Lucy Dee’s lungs were transplanted to a 58-year-old woman, her liver to a 25-year-old man, and her kidneys to two people. Thus, the woman allowed 5 different people to cling to life.
