WARNINGS OF TERROR AND KIDNAPPINGS IN AND FROM SINAI

Warning: Palestinian Terrorists Seek to Kidnap Israelis in Sinai and Bring Them to Gaza (Prime Minister's Office)
Warnings of terrorist attacks in Sinai have recently intensified. Terrorists in Sinai are working to abduct Israelis in Sinai and convey them to Gaza. The currently open border between Gaza and Sinai makes it easier for terrorists to move back and forth.  Therefore, Israel's National Security Council Counter-Terrorism Bureau on Thursday called on Israelis to avoid visiting Sinai and any Israelis currently there should leave forthwith.

Hamas and other terrorist organizations in Gaza have used the newly open border with Egypt to send numerous terrorists into Sinai over the last two days with the goal of reaching Israel to commit attacks, Israeli defense officials said Thursday. Defense officials said the terrorists in Sinai are most likely to try to strike immediately, and almost certainly within the next two weeks.
