Israel Boosts Security for Diplomatic Missions and Tourists Abroad Amid Concrete Threats
The Shin Bet and Israel's Foreign Ministry announced Friday that they have enhanced security measures for Israeli diplomatic missions and civilians worldwide amid escalating threats during the ongoing US-Israel campaign against Iran. The agencies increased operational readiness through specialized activities coordinated with local security forces, with particular emphasis on the Middle East, Europe and Africa. The announcement follows Israel's covert extraction of embassy staff from the United Arab Emirates after two Iranian terror plots targeting Israeli diplomats were thwarted. The National Security Council issued travel warnings advising Israelis to avoid UAE flights and refrain from displaying Jewish or Israeli symbols in public.
