Israel's National Security Council issued an urgent warning on Tuesday for Israelis abroad, ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre. Authorities cited an "increased risk of attempted attacks against Israelis and Jews abroad," as well as demonstrations that could turn violent. The Council stated that terrorist organizations, including Iran and its proxies, Hamas, and global jihadist groups, view the October 7 date as highly symbolic and may seek to exploit it for hostile actions. Israelis are specifically advised to completely avoid countries at the highest alert level, such as Jordan, Qatar, Somaliland, and Egypt, including the Sinai Peninsula. For destinations at level 3 alert, they are recommended to avoid speaking Hebrew in crowded places and to stay away from demonstrations, gatherings, and crowds. Authorities also emphasized online caution, urging travelers not to post their travel plans or itineraries on social media in advance and to refrain from sharing information that could identify service in Israeli security forces. In emergencies, Israelis are advised to contact local security forces and the National Security Council's travel alert center.
