Supplemental Info:
The Israel National Security Council is warning that with the collapse of the ceasefire and resumed fighting in Gaza, they are "expecting to see an increase in attempted attacks against Israeli/Jewish targets abroad carried out by local initiatives or lone-wolf attackers." "The bottom line is that the various terrorist entities (Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, Global Jihad) are still high motivated and active in advancing attacks against Israelis and Jews around the world. The backdrop of the hate-filled general feeling towards Israelis and Jews in many countries because of the war continues to fuel motivation among terrorists to carry out attacks against Israelis and Jews abroad." "In addition to the increased terrorism threats, we have seen a surge in hate crimes and antisemitic incidents against Jews and Israelis around the world. Since the beginning of the Swords of Iron war, there have been hundreds of violent attacks against Israelis/Jews around the world, both in organized, planned attacks and in local/lone-wolf initiatives, including mob violence such as the riot attack on Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans in Amsterdam (November 7, 2024)."
