Israel's National Security Council (NSC) has issued a stern warning to Israelis traveling abroad, urging heightened caution as the third anniversary of the October 7th tragedy approaches. The NSC assesses that Iran and its proxies, Hamas terrorists, and global jihadist groups view the upcoming anniversary as a significant date and may attempt to leverage it for attacks and provocations.
In response to the elevated threat of terrorist attacks against Israelis and Jews overseas, as well as potential demonstrations and unrest, the NSC is advising citizens to take increased security measures. Specifically, Israelis are recommended to avoid publicly sharing travel plans on social media and to steer clear of countries designated with the highest threat level (Level 4). These include Jordan, Qatar, Somaliland, and Egypt, along with the Sinai Peninsula.
For areas with a Level 3 threat, the NSC suggests minimizing conversations in Hebrew in crowded public spaces, avoiding demonstrations and mass gatherings, and refraining from posting information or photos online that indicate military or security service. In the event of an emergency, individuals should first contact local law enforcement and security agencies. A 24/7 hotline is available for consultations regarding terrorist threats abroad at 02-6667444.
The advisory follows a previous report by "Cursor" detailing an incident where a young Israeli man named David was attacked by several men in Panama City's San Miguel area while returning to his hotel after a Sukkot celebration.
