Israel's national security council issued a warning on Wednesday, urging Israelis to immediately leave tourist areas in southern Sri Lanka, including Arugam Bay, due to a potential terrorist threat. The advisory also covers popular beaches in the south and west of the country.
While the exact nature of the threat was not disclosed, the council advised Israelis across Sri Lanka to remain cautious and avoid large public gatherings. Israeli authorities are closely monitoring the situation in coordination with Sri Lankan security forces.
