"From information at our disposal, it arises that terrorist organizations in
the Gaza Strip and additional elements are actively planning to perpetrate
terrorist attacks, especially abductions, against Israeli tourists in Sinai
in the immediate term. The NSCCTB reiterates its call to all Israelis in
Sinai to leave the area immediately and return home. The families of
Israelis in Sinai are requested to contact them and update them regarding
this travel warning. The NSCCTB also emphatically recommends that all those
planning to leave for Sinai refrain from doing so."
