Summary

Israel Warns

Israel's National Security Council warned on Sept. 6 of terrorist threats to Jews abroad during Holy Days.
It named Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic State and Al Qaeda as danger sources.
It urged Israelis to avoid kippot or visible Jewish symbols in risky spots.
The council reported 25 Israelis and Jews killed since Oct. 7, 2023.
Level 4 warnings for Jordan, Qatar, Somaliland and Egypt’s Sinai; travel to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen is prohibited.

History

Historical Context

The planned Newark–Tel Aviv route operates in a post-9/11 environment, a label that, like post-World War II, denotes the era after a major event; the prefix appears elsewhere in names such as the UK Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) and the US company Post Holdings, illustrating how “post” signals change across security, travel and industry.
