**Israel Issues Heightened Terror Threat Warning for Israelis in UAE**
Jerusalem – Israel’s National Security Council (NSC) has issued a sharpened travel warning for Israelis visiting or residing in the United Arab Emirates, citing a significant increase in the risk of attacks by “terrorist organizations.” The NSC statement, released Thursday, attributes the elevated threat to heightened motivation for revenge following recent Israeli military operations in the Middle East, including operations targeting Iran and its ongoing campaign in Gaza.
The NSC identified “The Iranians, Hamas, Hezbollah and Global Jihad” as potential perpetrators, claiming they are driven to retaliate for “Operation Rising Lion” and inflamed by increased anti-Israel sentiment and pro-Palestinian incitement since the start of “Operation Iron Swords” and in response to what it termed Hamas’ starvation campaign.
The warning comes amidst mounting international criticism of Israel’s restrictions on aid entering Gaza, which have led to a dire humanitarian crisis.
Despite the UAE’s reputation as a relatively safe country in the region, the NSC highlighted “past experience” showing that terrorist groups often target neighboring countries. The council cautioned that attacks could specifically target Israeli and Jewish sites in the UAE, particularly during Jewish holidays and Shabbat.
The travel alert for the UAE remains at level 3, advising Israelis to “seriously reconsider” non-essential travel.
The NSC’s warning follows the sentencing to death of three individuals in March for the murder of Israeli-Moldovan Rabbi Zvi Kogan in November. The Abu Dhabi Federal Appeal Court ruled the killing was committed with “terrorist purpose.” This incident underscores the heightened security concerns prompting Israel’s advisory.
