Israelis warned of increase in suicide attacks around the world

The Israeli Prime Minister Office's Counter-Terrorism Bureau released its yearly warning Tuesday ahead of the upcoming holiday season in which large numbers of Israelis traveling abroad could prompt terror attacks against them, the Jerusalem Post reported. 

The Bureau stressed that it was not issuing a new travel advisory, but merely sharpening existing advisories ahead of the holidays, with the exception of Turkey, where the threat level was recently raised after three Israelis were killed in a Daesh suicide bombing in Istanbul.

The advisory warned against "an increase in the daring of terror attacks around the world," both in their characteristics and their scope.

The advisory warned against terrorist organizations that could potentially target Israelis in Africa, such as Al Shabab and Boko Haram, as well as al-Qaida and Daesh in north Africa.
