’’Israel’’ Urges Its Tourists to Leave Sinai
The so-called ""Israeli" National Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Bureau"" has called on all "Israelis" currently in the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula to "leave the area immediately and return to "Israel"."
In a statement issued Saturday, the bureau said "it decided to update the severe travel warning for Sinai in light of information indicating that "terror" organizations are working even more intensely to carry out terror attacks against "Israeli" tourists vacationing in Sinai."
The travel advisory also called on "Israelis" planning on traveling to Sinai to avoid entering the peninsula.
About a month ago, the "Israeli" Bureau announced that "hundreds of "Israelis" were continuing to travel to Sinai despite the fact that over the past year the region has become a haven for "terror" organizations from Gaza."
"Security forces have reliable and updated information showing that terror agencies are currently attempting to kidnap "Israelis" in Sinai for negotiation purposes," it added.
Earlier this month, "Israel" Military Intelligence chief Major General Aviv Kochavi warned that "terrorist organizations were strengthening their hold over the Sinai," adding that ""Israel" had foiled around a dozen attempts to launch terrorist attacks this year."
