[PHOTOS AND VIDEOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE] Magen David Adom EMS personnel and other medical professionals including ICU physicians responded to Turkey on motzei Shabbos with the mission of bringing home all of the Israeli wounded in the suicide terror attack that took place Shabbos morning 9 Adar-II close to 11:00AM.  There are conflicting reports as to the number of Israeli dead. It is confirmed that two people were killed and it appears there is a third but this is yet unconfirmed. An Iranian national was also counted among the dead as are two American citizens, the White House confirms.

In one video we see MDA Chief of Operations Eli Bin speaking from Istanbul Airport shortly after landing on motzei shabbos.

In the second video we see MDA paramedic Felix Lotan, who arrived back in Ben-Gurion Airport with some of the wounded from the attack. Despite reports the wounded were transported to Tel Hashomer Hospital, Felix reports they were transported to Ichilov Hospital.

In the third video we see MDA Chief Paramedic Rami Miller explaining the operation.

Officials in the Prime Minister’s Office explain it remains uncertain at this time if the attack was aimed specifically at the Israeli group that was hit in the attack.
