Israel's National Security Council (NSC) issued an urgent warning on Tuesday to Israeli citizens abroad regarding an increased risk of terrorist attacks ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre. The NSC highlighted that terrorist organizations, particularly Iran and its proxies like Hamas and global jihad elements, view this date as a significant symbolic occasion to carry out hostile actions. The council emphasized that Hezbollah and Iran are seeking revenge.
In response to the assessment, the NSC urged Israelis to adopt stringent security measures. This includes completely avoiding travel to countries designated at Level 4 travel warning (the highest level), which are Jordan, Qatar, Somaliland, and Egypt, including the Sinai Peninsula. For destinations with a Level 3 threat, the NSC advised minimizing the use of Hebrew in crowded public places and strictly avoiding any protest sites, demonstrations, or mass gatherings.
Security officials also stressed the importance of digital security, requesting travelers refrain from pre-announcing their movements and travel routes on social media. They were also advised not to upload content indicating service in Israeli security forces. In emergency situations, the NSC stated that individuals should first contact local security forces in their country of residence, in addition to reaching out to the NSC's travel warning hotline.
