111,000 Israelis expected in Turkey over Passover

Some 111,000 Israelis are expected to travel to Turkey over the Passover holiday later this month, despite a severe travel warning in place, Channel 2 reports.

The Counter-Terrorism Bureau at the Prime Minister’s Office on March 28 issued a travel warning calling on the public to avoid visiting Turkey and urging Israelis currently there to leave as soon as they can.

The warning, which raised the terror risk in Turkey from level 3 (basic concrete threat) to level 2 (high concrete threat), came in the wake of a terror attack in central Istanbul on March 19, in which three Israelis were killed and several others wounded.
