Experts warn that terrorists or lone attackers could take advantage of the chaos and unrest to launch attacks. In this regard, Israelis are advised to take precautions. In particular, during the next week you are recommended to refrain from attending large sporting and cultural events, especially those where a large number of compatriots are expected to be present. Special attention is paid to the Israeli national team’s match in Paris, scheduled for November 14.
