Just before the Tishrei holidays and the influx of Israelis abroad, the Anti-Terrorism Division of the Israel Defense Forces published today (Monday) the assessment of the situation and the status of the travel warnings.
MAL estimates that Iran's attempts to carry out terrorist attacks in Western countries and Europe will continue.
The MAL emphasizes that in the last two years, Iran and its affiliates have been increasing their activities abroad with the aim of harming Israelis.
During 2021-2022, Iranian attempts to harm Israelis in other countries in the world were thwarted.
Highlighted the exposure and thwarting of Iranian attempts to carry out terrorist attacks on Turkish soil during June of this year.
The assessment in the MAL is that in the near future Iran will continue to work to promote damage to Israeli targets around the world, both in countries near Iran and in the countries of the West and Europe.

In addition, the MAL mentions that the organizations of global jihad and radical Islam, especially the ISIS organization and their supporters, continue to demonstrate motivation to carry out terrorist attacks, including against Jewish and Israeli targets, in various countries around the world.
"This is backed up by open statements, from the heads of the organizations, calling for harm to Israelis and Jews. These organizations have extensive infrastructure and activity, in the Middle East (with an emphasis on North Sinai) in Africa and Asia. This, along with irregular activity in other countries around the world," the MLA said
. Thus, the MLA urges the public planning to travel abroad to check the status of the travel warning for the expected destinations, before purchasing the tickets. We note that the MLA reflects the travel warnings in terrorist contexts only.
Additional issues, including consular issues, warning Israelis about combat zones, political instability, crime, and consular issues, are handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and regarding which you must be updated separately on the relevant websites.
