Tel Aviv - Ten foreign tourists were killed and dozens injured Tuesday when their tour bus plunged into a gully on a road near the Israeli Red Sea resort of Eilat, Israeli media reported, Israel Radio reported. The bus veered off the road and rolled down into a wadi, landing on its side and trapping several people underneath, the radio said. Some 20 ambulances and three Israel Air Force helicopters were rushed to the scene and began evacuating passengers to a hospital in Eilat. Some 60 people were said to be on board the bus, which was carrying tourists chiefly from Eastern Europe who had landed in Israel earlier Tuesday and were heading for Eilat.
