Warnings of terrorist attacks in Sinai have recently intensified, PM Olmert’s Office said in a statement. Terrorists in Sinai are actively working to abduct Israelis in Sinai and convey them to the Gaza Strip. The currently open border between the Gaza Strip and Sinai makes it easier for terrorists to move back and forth.

Therefore, the National Security Council Counter-Terrorism Bureau recommends that Israelis avoid visit Sinai and that any Israelis currently there leave forthwith.
