The National Security Council renews its Level 4 travel warning for the Sinai Peninsula, saying that the threat of terrorism to Israelis in the area has recently increased even further.
The NSC stresses in a statement that the threat of terrorism in the peninsula, which has been under an elevated warning since the war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023, “has been high for some time, and that recently, these threats have become more acute specifically toward Israelis intending to visit the area.”
“The NSC urges the Israeli public to carefully review their travel plans and to act in accordance with the NSC’s recommendations and guidelines, which appear on its website,” writes the council.
