Israeli security services have foiled multiple plots against Israeli targets abroad since the war broke out, a security official tells The Times of Israel.

On Friday, citing rising antisemitism worldwide since Israel declared war on Hamas over the terror group’s October 7 onslaught in southern Israel, the National Security Council urged Israelis to reconsider any travel abroad while calling on those flying overseas to avoid outward displays of their Jewish and Israeli identities.
