[Yisrael]

Israel - Israeli officials fear that terror groups are planning attacks against Israeli holidaymakers abroad.

An Israeli official told the newspaper that security officials believe terror groups plan to use a boat laden with explosives to sink an Israeli cruise ship in the Mediterranean.

"We have warning about terror plans to carry out attacks abroad," the official said. "One scenario is an attack using a ship or a boat carrying explosives."

The official said that security would be boosted onboard Israeli cruise ships whose sailing lines would be altered.

"There are various scenarios: booby-trapped boats, using boats to fire explosives at passenger ships and more. Over Sukkot many Israelis are leaving for cruises from Haifa and Ashdod and we have to ensure that these ships are well protected," the official added. [Yedioth Ahronoth]
