(Ha'aretz) The Israeli army sent a team of 150 doctors, psychologists, and soldiers, as well as medication and food to the victims of the terrorist attack in Kenya on Thursday, hours after the attack. An IAF Hercules plane carrying the three Israelis killed as well as nine of the wounded Israelis landed in Israel Friday morning. Three other planes will bring Israeli tourists from Mombasa on Friday. The Israelis killed in the attack were tour group leader Albert de Havila, 60, from Ra'anana; and two brothers - Noy Anter, 12, and Dvir Anter, 14, from Ariel. The boys' mother, Ora, was badly injured in the attack and is still unconscious. The father, Rahamim, and sister Edva, 8, were lightly injured. Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the targeting of Israelis in Kenya marked a "dangerous escalation of terror." "This shows that terror organizations and the regimes behind them are able to arm themselves with weapons which can cause mass casualties anywhere and everywhere," the foreign minister said. "Today, they're firing the missiles at Israeli planes, tomorrow they'll fire missiles at American planes, British planes, every country's aircraft. This shows there can be no compromise with terror."
