Israel has issued an unprecedented warning to its citizens to refrain from travelling abroad unless necessary and to conceal their national and Jewish identity if they must make a foreign trip.

The National Security Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have put out a warning calling on "all citizens of Israel to exercise heightened caution when travelling anywhere abroad", Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy said.

"We know that Jewish communities and their institutions, Israeli diplomatic missions and airports handling flights to and from Israel are key targets for... violent antisemites," he continued.
