Terror Warnings For Jewish Holidays
By Micah Halpern

Wednesday October 5

I've Been Thinking:

Israel has issued severe warnings against travel to Sinai during the Holidays.
There is very specific and very clear intelligence that Israelis in Sinai will be targeted during this period.

Behavior during the Jewish Holiday period is predictable - thousands of Israelis swarming to the inexpensive vacation resorts of the Red Sea - and that is exactly what makes it the perfect time to strike out at Israelis. Terrorists can plan for months in anticipation of a sure thing, waiting targets, an easy hit.

It is precisely because this time of year is such easy prey for terrorists that, in addition to issuing travel warnings, Israel also closes the borders with the West Bank and Gaza.

The bad news: 2,500 tourists are now in Sinai and several thousand more will probably venture over.
The good news: last year on the eve of Rosh Hashanah there were 30,000 Israelis in Sinai.
