Israel’s Counterterrorism Bureau has issued an alert ahead of Pesach warning Israelis around the world that Iran and Hizbullah are continuing efforts to strike out, particularly now with the upcoming yomtov.

The warning states that special attention must surround high profile tourist resorts and hotels as well as diplomatic facilities. There is an especially strong warning for the Sinai area, a popular Pesach resort for Israelis.

There is also intelligence community information pointing to threats from the Global Jihad in Tunisia and Morocco along with mentioning a threat for Lag B’Omer at the Tziyun of Shimon Bar Yochai where hundreds of thousands gather annually.
