The National Security Council noted that jihadist organizations, including Hamas and Hezbollah, are actively attempting to attack Israelis and Jews abroad.
Israel’s National Security Council (NSC) issued a security advisory on Thursday for Israeli citizens attending the Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland (May 5–18), warning the event could be targeted by terrorist groups.
“International events of this type are a prime target for threats and attacks by various terrorist groups,” the NSC stated, citing the global media attention such attacks would attract.
The NSC noted that jihadist organizations, including Hamas and Hezbollah, are actively attempting to attack Israelis and Jews both in Israel and abroad, with dozens of plots reportedly thwarted in recent months.
