Hide your flags: NSC warns Israelis abroad over Palestinian 'day of rage'
The NSC instructed Israelis to remain vigilant and alert authorities in the event of an emergency.
The National Security Council issued directives for Israelis on Monday abroad ahead of a worldwide “day of rage” in support of Palestinians scheduled for Tuesday.
The directives included complying with local security forces, avoiding displaying Israeli symbols in public, staying away from protests, and remaining on alert.
“Numerous calls have been identified online to hold protest events, demonstrations, and disruptions in various countries around the world,” led by pro-Palestinian activists, the statement read.
“These protests and demonstrations may escalate into violent incidents against Israelis, alongside concerns that terrorist supporters or lone attackers might attempt to infiltrate protest hotspots to carry out an attack.”

Israelis abroad are recommended to notify local security services if there is any emergency, followed by contacting the local Israeli mission if there is one.For any questions regarding terror threats abroad, Israelis can contact the NSC’s 24/7 travel warning hotline at +972-2-6667444.
