National Security Council Warns Of Terror Organizations’ Sharp Motivation To Target Israelis And Jews Abroad

Israel's National Security Council has issued a fresh set of travel and safety recommendations as the country enters the holiday season, citing an expanding global threat picture. The warning comes amid intensifying incitement campaigns and terrorist ambitions tied to the ongoing conflict with Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

The National Security Council said the ongoing conflict with Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and other factors has expanded the risk facing Israelis worldwide, warning that incitement campaigns tied to the fighting have sharply increased terrorist elements' motivation to attack Israeli and Jewish targets. The council said Hezbollah, driven by the severe losses it suffered in the war against Israel and a desire for revenge over the deaths of senior members, remains a significant potential threat.
