Olmert: Israelis must take foreign terror threats seriously
By Barak Ravid
Tags: Israel news, terror, Olmert 

The security cabinet announced at the end of its meeting Wednesday that Israelis planning to holiday abroad must stay alert for warnings from the Counter Terrorism Bureau, and take the necessary precautions in light of the threat of terror attacks, specifically abductions.

Outgoing prime minister Ehud Olmert said during the cabinet deliberations that events of recent years had enhanced the motivation of terror organizations, primarily Hezbollah, to harm Israelis.

"The government is making an effort to publicize warnings, but it is first and foremost the responsibility of every citizen leaving the country to keep away from dangerous areas and take the necessary precautions. Israeli citizens and governmental bodies must take these threats very seriously", said Olmert.

In addition, the cabinet has approved a number of procedures that were finalized over the past few months by the National Security Council and the government.
