Israel Fears Similar Attacks to the Sydney Attack

Translation by SadaNews - Israel and its security agencies are concerned about similar attacks that might target Jews and Israelis abroad, as occurred in Sydney, Australia.

According to the Hebrew channel Reshet Kan, as translated by SadaNews, Israel has asked countries around the world, with a focus on European nations, to increase security during the celebrations of Hanukkah due to fears of copycat attacks following the incident in Australia.

According to the channel, security officials believe that the upcoming days, which will include public events for the holiday, as well as Christian events like Christmas and New Year celebrations, could be targets for potential cells.

In another report, the channel mentioned that the Israeli army has instructed its soldiers and officers not to reveal their identities abroad to prevent them from being targeted.

The "Counterterrorism" headquarters in Israel issued a statement yesterday, calling on Israelis to avoid attending unsafe mass events, including events held by the Chabad movement.
