THREE ISRAELIS KILLED IN ISTANBUL BOMBING:

Three Israelis were murdered in a Saturday, 19 March 2016 suicide bombing in Istanbul that wounded at least 36 others. Israel’s Foreign Ministry said there were 11 wounded Israelis: two were in serious condition, two in moderate condition, six in light condition, and a wounded woman who was in surgery. A plane carrying an MDA delegation landed in Turkey after 10pm to help examine the wounded Israelis. The attack occurred on the city's famous Istiklal Street, a popular tourist destination visited by many people on weekends. Among the wounded Israelis were members of two different tour groups, which apparently met on Istiklal Street just before the attack. Turkish officials said that DNA evidence confirmed the suspected bomber, named as Savas Yildiz, was linked to the ISIS terrorist group. Reports said Yildiz was involved in attacks in Mersin and Adana in southern Turkey about a year ago before fleeing to Syria. (Ynet)
