Netanyahu: Working with Turkey to determine if attack targeted Israelis
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is speaking to the Israeli press after the suicide bombing in Istanbul and confirms two Israelis were killed.
He says Israeli officials are in contact with Turkish government officials in the wake of Saturday’s suicide bombing and are trying to determine whether the attack was directed at Israelis.
He says an IDF plane and a Magen David Adom plane have been dispatched to Istanbul to bring the Israeli victims home.
“There is information that this is an attack of an Islamic State terrorist,” he says, “but it’s preliminary information.”
