Israel's National Security Council (NSC) issued a warning on Tuesday for Israelis traveling abroad, citing an increased risk of terror attacks and disturbances ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre. The NSC urged citizens to exercise "heightened vigilance" due to the elevated threat.
According to the advisory, terror organizations, particularly Iran and its proxies, Hamas, and global jihad elements, view the upcoming anniversary as a significant date. The NSC highlighted a heightened risk of attempted attacks against Israelis and Jews worldwide, alongside potential protests and public disorder.
The NSC provided a series of recommendations for Israelis abroad. These include avoiding early social media posts about travel plans, refraining from visiting destinations with a Level 4 travel warning such as Jordan, Qatar, Somaliland, and Egypt (including the Sinai Peninsula). For countries with a Level 3 warning, the NSC advised minimizing conversations in Hebrew in crowded public places, staying away from demonstrations and gatherings, and not posting content online that indicates military service.
In case of emergency, the NSC instructed individuals to first contact local security forces. The advisory concluded by providing the contact number for the Travel Warnings Center, which operates 24/7 and is dedicated to terror-related threats: 02-6667444.
