Fire-fighting aircraft from Britain, Greece and Cyprus landed in Israel earlier Friday, the first arrivals of a planned international aid drive to battle the massive brushfire.

The death toll from the blaze reached 41 on Friday, most from an incident involving a bus carrying members of a Prison Service guards' course who were heading to the Damon jail to help evacuate inmates there.
