The National Security Council issued a warning for Wednesday, amid the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre, stating that there is an increased threat against Israelis and Jews abroad, alongside demonstrations and riots, in a Tuesday statement.
"Terrorist organizations, and particularly Iran and its proxies [including] Hamas, and Global Jihad factions, see this date as a significant milestone," the NSC wrote.
The NSC issued several advisories, including to "avoid posting advance information on social media regarding travel or movements abroad."
The NSC also advised to "avoid traveling to destinations under a Level 4 travel warning [which includes] Jordan, Qatar, Somaliland, and Egypt, including the Sinai Peninsula."
"In Level 3 destinations, minimize speaking Hebrew in crowded places," and "stay away from demonstrations and large gatherings," the NSC said.
NSC reminds Israelis not to post social media content reflecting military service
"Do not post on social media [any] content that reflects your service in the security forces [including the IDF and police]," it added.
"In an emergency, contact local security forces first," the NSC said, but noted that there is a 24/7 terror-related travel alert hotline that can be reached at +972-2-666-7444.
