Security around the world has been ramped up on Friday as Israeli authorities are warning the public about Hamas’ call for a "Day of Rage" targeting its people and Jews.
The Israel National Security Council and Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it is recommending all Israelis abroad to "be alert, keep away from the demonstrations and protests and – if necessary – check with local security forces regarding possible protests and disturbances in the area."
"Against the background of Operation Swords of Iron, the Hamas leadership has called on all of its supporters around the world to hold a 'Day or Rage'... (Friday, 13 October 2023) and attack Israelis and Jews," the agencies said in a joint statement. "It is reasonable to assume that there will be protest events in various countries that are liable to turn violent."
