| [IsraelTimes] National Security Council assessment says Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and other groups remain motivated to target Jews, Israelis; singles out October 7 anniversary The National Security Council on Sunday warned of terror threats against Israelis and Jews abroad ahead of the Jewish holiday season and singled out the upcoming anniversary of the October 7, 2023 massacre, for special concern, warning them to exercise caution and refrain from displaying Israeli or Jewish symbols. The notice outlined “key trends in global terrorist activity” but did not issue specific new travel warnings for any locations. According to the NSC, which is part of the Prime Minister’s Office, Iran and its proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, and global jihadi groups Islamic State, al-Qaeda and al-Shabab, remain highly motivated to target Israelis and Jews worldwide. “Hamas is also expanding its own activities beyond the war in Gaza to establish terrorist infrastructure and carry out terrorist attacks against Jews and Israelis abroad,” the report said. The assessment also warned of the wider threat posed by Tehran, noting that “Iran is increasingly motivated by retaliation” after the recent war with Israel. The council advised against travel to high-risk countries including Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen — which is in any case forbidden by law — as well as Egypt (including Sinai), Turkey, Jordan, and others. Many Israelis take trips abroad during the High Holy Days period that begins next week with the start of Rosh Hashanah and ends three weeks later with the conclusion of Sukkot. |
