The National Security Council issues a warning against travel to Turkey and Morocco, citing fears that Israeli travelers will be targets of those angry at the ongoing Israel-Gaza war.
The NSC says it is raising the alert to Turkey to a 4 and calling on all Israelis in the country to leave as soon as possible.
For Morocco, the threat level is being raised to a 2, and Israeli tourists are called on to exercise extra caution.
Two Israeli tourists were killed by an Egyptian police in an attack last week.
