Israel's National Security Council issued a warning that Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and global jihad groups are stepping up efforts to target Israelis and Jews overseas as the holiday period and the anniversary of the October 7 attack approach. The council said 25 Israelis and Jews have been killed in attacks abroad since the war began nearly three years ago. The warning calls for heightened vigilance among Israeli and Jewish communities worldwide, reflecting continued concern that the Gaza conflict is fueling threats beyond the immediate battlefield. Israeli officials have repeatedly cited such incidents as evidence of a global spillover from the war.
