National Security Council urges Israelis not to attend tonight’s Maccabi Tel Aviv game in Bologna
The National Security Council calls on Israelis to avoid attending Maccabi Tel Aviv’s game in Bologna, Italy after last night’s attack on fans in Amsterdam.
The NSC says online calls to harm Israelis and Jews continue, sparking fear of copycat attacks at tonight’s match in Bologna.
In addition to avoiding tonight’s game, the NSC says Israelis should avoid wearing identifying Jewish symbols as much as possible.
Israelis abroad are also encouraged to download the IDF’s Home Front Command app that provides updates as needed.
