Israel on Monday urged citizens vacationing in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula to leave immediately, saying the threat of attacks inspired by Islamic State and other jihadi groups was high.

The advisory was issued ahead of the Passover holiday, when thousands of Israelis cross the land border with Egypt to visit resorts and beaches on the Sinai’s Red Sea coast.


Israel’s Anti-Terrorism Directorate said its “Level 1” alert related to a “very high concrete threat.” The directorate on Monday refreshed standing warnings for other countries, including Jordan and Turkey.
