Israel's National Security Council (NSC) has issued a warning to Israelis abroad about an increased risk of terror attacks targeting Jewish sites and Israeli citizens, coinciding with the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on October 7. The advisory, released on October 6, highlights that terrorist organizations, particularly Iran and its proxies, Hamas, and global jihadist groups, view the anniversary as a significant date for potential actions against Israeli and Jewish interests.
In addition to terror threats, the NSC cautioned about possible demonstrations and riots. Israelis overseas are advised against pre-announcing travel plans on social media, avoiding protests and large crowds, and refraining from posting online content that indicates service in Israeli security forces.
The NSC also urged citizens to avoid countries and territories with a Level 4 travel warning, the highest level. These include Jordan, Qatar, Somaliland, and Egypt, specifically mentioning the Sinai Peninsula. For those in countries with a Level 3 warning, the recommendation is to avoid speaking Hebrew in crowded public places if possible.
In the event of an emergency, the NSC advises Israelis to first contact local law enforcement. A 24-hour hotline for terror threat warnings is available at 02-6667444.
