A statement by the bureau raised this to “level 2” on Monday, signifying what it called a “high concrete threat” that Islamic State or similar groups would attack Turkish tourist attractions. It did not elaborate on what prompted the alert.
The statement said Israelis should avoid going to Turkey and, if already there, “depart as soon as possible”.
If a “level 1” alert were by issued by Israel, that would urge citizens to leave the country “forthwith”.
