Ahead of Passover, Israelis warned Hamas, Iran may target travelers and Jews abroad

In a warning Tuesday ahead of the Passover holiday, the National Security Council (NSC) said Israelis and Jews traveling abroad could be targeted by Hamas, Iran and global jihadi groups including Islamic State.
Many Israelis typically fly abroad during the weeklong holiday, which will begin on April 12.

The warning urged Israelis to exercise caution when traveling abroad and to check NSC travel recommendations before flying.
In its warning, the NSC said Hamas was expected to ramp up efforts to attack Jewish and Israeli targets abroad given its “deteriorating situation in Gaza and the resumption of fighting” there last month.

The NSC noted the December 2023 arrest of Hamas cells in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands on suspicion of plotting to attack Jewish targets in Europe. The following April, Bulgarian police uncovered an arms cache linked to four suspected Hamas members arrested in Germany and the Netherlands.

According to the NSC, Iran is the main backer of global terrorism targeting Jews and Israelis. The body warned that “Iranian terror operatives have continued attempts to lure Israeli citizens — both domestically and abroad — through deceptive business offers or impersonation, aiming to harm or abduct them.”

In its warning Tuesday, the NSC also said there was an increased risk of lone wolf terror attacks amid a spike in the activity of global jihadi groups Islamic State, al-Qaeda and al-Shabab, particularly in Europe.
