NSC warns Israelis, Diaspora Jews about heightened antisemitism, terror threats ahead of Oct. 7
The NSC issued several advisories, including to "avoid posting advance information on social media regarding travel or movements abroad."
The National Security Council (NSC) has issued a warning ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre, predicting heightened antisemitism and terror threats. The council cautioned Israelis and Jews living abroad, as well as travelers to certain regions, to exercise caution. Terror organizations, notably Iran and its proxies like Hamas and Global Jihad factions, view this date as significant.
The NSC advises against posting travel plans on social media and recommends avoiding destinations under a Level 4 travel warning, such as Jordan, Qatar, Somaliland, and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. In Level 3 destinations, the NSC urges minimizing the use of Hebrew in public and staying clear of demonstrations and large gatherings. Posting on social media about military service is also discouraged.
In case of emergency, local security forces should be contacted first, but a 24/7 terror-related travel alert hotline is available at +972-2-666-7444. Furthermore, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, Shin Bet Director David Zini, and Israel Police Commissioner Daniel Levi convened a joint, multi-arena situational assessment to prepare for the challenging period ahead, focusing on defense, combating terrorism, and addressing nationalist crime.
The organizations agreed on immediate measures to ensure secure elections, leveraging each agency's strengths.
