Israel has warned its citizens to avoid sporting and cultural events in the UK amid fears over upcoming attacks.
Following attacks against football fans in Amsterdam, the country’s National Security Council said that it had intelligence that pro-Palestinian groups were trying to harm Jews and Israelis across Europe.
It said that these attacks would come under the guise of protests and demonstrations.
The council highlighted the upcoming UEFA Nations League match between Israel and France in Paris this Thursday as one to stay clear of.

In a statement published online, the council said: “In the past few days, there have been calls among pro-Palestinian/terrorist-supporter groups to harm Israelis and Jews.
“This is under the pretence of demonstrations and protests, taking advantage of mass gatherings (sports and cultural events) to maximise the damage and the media coverage.
“In addition, preparations to harm Israelis have been identified in several European cities, including Brussels, major cities in the UK, Amsterdam and Paris (around the upcoming match of the Israeli team on 14 November).”
Israelis who are travelling abroad have also been warned not to disclose their identity, and be wary if their destination country has a “large migrant population from countries opposed to Israel”.
