In response to the report on terror alerts against Israelis in Thailand, the Mossad and National Security Council say in a statement: “Over recent months, Israeli security services in cooperation with Thai security have acted to thwart several incidents” in the country.
“Since Oct. 7 and the war [in Gaza] Iran and its proxies have intensified their efforts to harm Israeli and Jewish targets around the world.”
The National Security Council says that it has not changed its threat level in Thailand at this time but calls on Israelis to remain alert; avoid outwardly displaying Israeli or Jewish identity; avoid large-scale events known to be associated with Israelis; avoid publishing their travel plans in advance on social media; and contact local security regarding any suspicions of hostile action targeting Israelis or Jews.
Earlier, Ynet reported that Thai police have warned internally they fear plans to carry out a terror attack against Israelis on the Island of Koh Phangan, potentially during the coming Full Moon Party on November 15. The island is very popular with Israelis.
According to Ynet local police have been carrying out intensive operations in recent days over the alerts, which are based on concrete information.
