"Turkey's sending of two fire-fighting planes, comes as its relations with Israel have deteriorated in recent years and reached a low point last May, when nine Turkish citizens were killed, as Israeli naval commandos boarded a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.
Other countries sending aid to arrive at Israel later on Friday, include Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, France, U.K, Croatia, Russia, Spain, and Romania. Overall, more than 20 fire-fighting planes are expected to arrive in Israel, with New York's fire department also agreeing to send a firefighting airplane to Israel."
Palestinians also sent fire trucks to help efforts in Israel.
One can only wonder whether the main stream media provided significant coverage of news like this.
It is remarkable that Turkey and other Muslim countries provide Israel with aid and support, despite Israel's cruelty and atrocities against Muslims and Christians.

(وَلا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلا السَّيِّئَةُ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ). (فصلت:34).
Surah 41 - Fussilat

It wasn't long ago when Israel launched its inhumane offensives against Lebanese and Palestinian, Muslim and Christian women and children, killing thousands.
The main stream media would rather keep the front pages and headlines reserved for extensive coverage of Muslim 'extremists', ignoring the barbarity of Israelis against Muslims and Christians; and keeping news that portrays Muslims as caring humans in the dark.
It wasn't long ago when Israel executed 9 Turkish aid workers in cold blood.
Israel poses an existential nuclear threat to the Muslim and Christian populations of the Middle East and beyond.
Muslims strive for peace while Israel strives for war and bloodshed.
