Dennis Pennis mum-in-law killed at Gaza

THE mother-in-law of Dennis Pennis comedian Paul Kaye has been killed by a terrorist rocket fired from Gaza.

Shuli Katz, 69 — mum of Paul’s wife Orly, 43 — died when a missile landed a yard away from her.
The rocket was fired into Israel from the Palestinian Gaza Strip. Yesterday Paul, 42, told how his family had been left heartbroken.

He said: “Orly is in severe shock. Shuli was such a gentle and beautiful lady and you just can’t imagine her having such a violent end.
“It was instant, so at least we can thank God for that.”
The TV comic blasted Palestinians who celebrate terror blasts. He said: “To think they handed out sweets after a bombing — it’s sick.

“The idea of people celebrating Shuli’s death is just too awful.
“I have no hate for the Palestinians. It is those who fight a war against Israel I abhor. This can only ever bring death and more death.”
Shuli, a nurse, was visiting her sister-in-law Leora in Moshav Yesha on Monday.
Her son Yariv, 40, had left her side for a moment and survived the blast. Paul said: “He’s in a terrible state. He was very close to his mother.”

His own children Jordan, 16, and Geffen, one, are devastated, he said — especially as his own mum died of cancer two months ago.
Paul said: “Jordan is inconsolable. It’s just awful at that age.
“He’s got his GCSEs coming up but I said he should go to Israel to be with the family. That’s more important.”

The comedian said he last saw Shuli when she visited to see his dying mum in December. The family had planned to go to Israel next week to celebrate her 70th birthday.
Paul, of Hendon, North London, rose to fame as rude interviewer Dennis Pennis in the Nineties.
