  Stay vigilant, listen to the media.

  Translated from the official Hebrew text.

• National Security Council · Official recommendation (Hebrew)

  Significant increase in hostility from the 'Swords of Iron' War: protests, incitement, and incidents. Increase in the motivation of terrorist elements to harm Israelis or Jews. High threat level (4) in the border area of Benin with Burkina Faso (approx. 30 km). In the rest of the country's territory - potential threat level (2) - it is recommended to take increased precautionary measures.
