Three Israelis Dead, Seven Missing as Tsunami Toll Soars
(Ha'aretz)- The Foreign Ministry Thursday identified three Israeli tourists killed in Sunday's tsunami in Thailand. Seven other Israelis are still missing, five in Thailand and two in Sri Lanka. In Thailand alone, 713 bodies have thus far been identified as foreigners. One of the tsunami victims, 11-month-old Matan Nesima, was buried Thursday in Jerusalem by his parents, Belgian Jews. An IDF cargo plane that flew to Sri Lanka earlier this week with food and medicine returned to Israel Thursday with 43 Israelis who survived the tsunami.
