Ynetnews reports: Two planes of the Magen David Adom and PassportCard delegation to Turkey landed at Ben-Gurion International Airport early on Sunday carrying five Israelis wounded in an ISIS terror bombing in Istanbul the previous day, in which three Israelis were murdered.

The bodies of the slain Israelis and five wounded Israelis still in Istanbul are now making their way back home.

At least four people were murdered – three Israelis and one Iranian national – and 36 wounded in the suicide bombing on Saturday morning 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.

The three Israelis murdered in the attack were named as Avraham Goldman, 69, from Herzliya; Yonatan Suher, 40, from Tel Aviv; and Simcha Damri, 60, from Dimona.
