[IsraelTimes] The National Security Council (NSC) has issued a Level 2 travel warning for Canada, urging Israelis living in or visiting the country to take increased precautions. The NSC advises people to avoid wearing visible displays of Israeli or Jewish identity, such as symbols or flags, and to remain highly alert in public spaces.The warning comes as anti-Israel protests are scheduled for today in cities like Toronto and Waterloo, with authorities noting a sharp escalation in rhetoric and threats surrounding these protests, the NSC says.
The advisory follows a rise in threats and attacks targeting Israeli and Jewish communities over the past 18 months, including shootings, Molotov cocktail attacks, and direct threats against Jewish institutions and individuals, the NSC notes.
Those attending public events are advised to follow instructions from local police and security services and avoid confrontations with demonstrators.
