Two teams from the ZAKA (Identifying Victims of Tragedies) International Unit, a team from Israel and a team from South Africa left tonight on direct flights to Ethiopia to locate the bodies of the Israelis killed in Sunday morning's plane disaster, documenting and identifying and collecting the findings at the scene of the crash.

ZAKA chairman Yehuda Meshi Zahav said. "Unfortunately, in our extensive experience in disaster events around the world, we have acquired great professionalism in such incidents."
