Israel closes embassies over terror fears

Israel has closed all or part of four foreign missions in the face of terror threats. In a statement, the Foreign Ministry today said Israel's assessment at this point is that these sites are under threat, and this is being taken care of. Without identifying which embassies or consulates were affected, the statement said unusual occurrences have been identified recently around a few Israeli missions abroad and the relevant Israeli authorities are in touch with relevant authorities in the countries concerned. Israel's counter-terror bureau also warned citizens to avoid Israeli and Jewish targets in Egypt, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Ivory Coast, Mali, Mauritania and Venezuela, in connection with the anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah figures Imad Mughnieg and Abbas Musawi.
