National Security Council tells Israelis abroad to take precautions

Israel’s National Security Council calls on Israelis abroad to exercise heightened awareness amid the outbreak of war with Iran, and to take precautionary measures.

“The escalation with Iran increases the likelihood that the Iranian regime will intensify efforts to carry out terrorist attacks abroad against Israeli/Jewish targets, starting immediately,” it says. “In addition, and based on past experience, the motivation to harm Israelis abroad may also increase among other terrorist elements, alongside local initiatives (including lone attackers).”

It urges Israelis to avoid shring real-time travel details on social media, avoid events identified with Israel or Judaism that are not secured, pay close attention to surroundings when in areas identified with Israel or Judaism, report any threat or attack to local security forces and avoid areas known for hostility toward Israelis and Jews.

It notes that there are detailed NSC recommendations for each country on its website.
