Israel also includes Albania on the map of countries where care must be taken

The National Security Council of the Israeli state has issued an alert and raised the level of vigilance in 80 countries for Israeli citizens.

"Since the beginning of the war, we have identified increased efforts by Iran and its proxies, including factions of Hamas and Global Jihad, to harm Israeli and Jewish targets around the world," Israel's Security Council said in a statement to the media.

"At the same time, there is a continuing and significant increase in incitement, attempted attacks and manifestations of anti-Semitism in many countries," the statement said.

"We cannot say don't go, what we can say is that the Israelis should think about where they are going," said an NSC official.
There is an unprecedented level of potential violence due to either terrorist attempts or increased anti-Semitism, and those traveling should take this into account, the official said.

Over 80% of the new threat warnings reflected an initial increase in risk in Tier 1 countries, where "basic precautions are advised," to Tier 2, where travelers should take "increased precautions."
Major Western countries were classified as worrying: the United Kingdom and Australia were on that list, as well as 17 countries on the European continent such as Germany, France, Sweden and the Netherlands.

Countries where there was a more serious threat such as South Africa, Eritrea, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan have been raised to a Level 3 threat, which recommends considering only essential travel. The regime of Israel has included Albania in the list of countries with a threat of Level 3 from countries of Level 1. They have asked their citizens to postpone for another time the journey to the countries of the Middle East, as well as those that are bordering with Iran and some Muslim countries in Asia.

Israelis should "stay away from demonstrations and protests," the announcement says. Travelers should also check current events in their destination country to see if there is anti-Israel or anti-Jewish activity, even for countries that are considered mostly safe. Once out of the country, travelers should "avoid the display of Israeli and Jewish symbols, and large gatherings of Israeli and Jewish officials."

Israeli citizens traveling abroad must carry the contact information of the embassy or consulate, as well as emergency services, according to the official announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
