Ynet reports that Thai police have warned in internal documents of fears of a plot to carry out a terror attack against Israelis in the country.
Specifically, the alert is said to focus on the famous monthly Full Moon Party in the Island of Koh Phangan, to be held on November 15. The island, and its parties, are incredibly popular with young Israelis.
According to Ynet local police are carrying out intensive operations in recent days over the alerts, which are based on concrete information.
Ynet cites an Israeli security source as saying the National Security Council is expected to issue a warning on the matter soon.
There is no immediate comment from Israeli officials.
