The National Security Council issues an advisory urging Israelis in India, particularly New Delhi, to exercise increased caution after an explosion earlier today near the Israeli embassy that it says was likely a terror attack.
The advisory calls to avoid crowded areas such as malls and markets, as well as sites associated with Jews and Israelis; be extra vigilant in public places; refrain from displaying Israeli symbols; avoid crowded events that aren’t secured; and not share photos on social media that could reveal their location.
