ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Counter Terrorism Bureau (CTB) issued a stark travel advisory for the Sinai Peninsula Monday, indicating a clear and present danger to Israeli tourists visiting the area.
The Prime Minister’s Office added that Israelis traveling to the area are now at severe risk of being abducted.
The CTB urged Israelis planning to travel to Sinai to revise their plans, and those already there to leave immediately.
According to the CTB, increased Hizbullah activity in the area has prompted the stern instructions. A travel advisory indicating the safety of Israelis traveling to Sinai cannot be guaranteed has been in place for some time now.”
