Israel’s anti-terrorism directorate issued a travel warning for India, citing an immediate threat of attack to Western and tourist targets, particularly in the south-west of the country. The warning recommended to avoid markets, festivals and crowded shopping areas. An Indian defense expert warned that lone-wolf attacks, such as the one seen in Turkey earlier this week, were a valid concern – as a large number of Israeli tourists flock to the Asian country this time of the year. A very large number of Israeli tourists flock to India at this point of time, particularly in the southwestern region of India, namely Goa, beaches of Goa, Mumbai, Cochin and Pune etc. And lone wolf attacks at this point of time are very much on the cards keeping in mind that the ISIS (Islamic State) is almost on the last legs,” said P.K. Sehgal, Retired Maj. General. The Israeli directorate did not say what prompted the warning.
