“The current conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories has led to increased tensions throughout the world,” the British Foreign Office said in a statement. The British Foreign Office (FCDO) has warned its citizens of possible terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka.
The statement said terrorist groups “may” target popular tourist spots in the country. A warning has also been added for other regions of the world.
This is due to the global escalation of tension due to the war between Israel and the “axis of evil”, including Iran and Yemen, the British Foreign Office said.
They noted that terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State called on their supporters to carry out terrorist attacks. The department also emphasized that the conflict could provoke individuals to commit attacks.
The British Foreign Office warned of possible deliberate or accidental attacks targeting communities or interests associated with Israel.
“Terrorist attacks may target Jewish or Muslim communities, as well as the interests of Israel and its allies. They can also be chaotic and occur without warning,” the report says.
Israel’s National Security Council has issued warnings to its citizens abroad several times in recent months. The agency fears possible attacks caused by the escalation of the conflict and the growth of anti-Semitic sentiments against the backdrop of the ongoing war.
