4. TERROR WARNING FOR SINAI Tens of thousands of Israelis are expected to spend Rosh HaShanah in the Sinai Desert in Egypt, despite sharply-worded terror warnings for the area. Travel agencies report that there have been some cancellations, but not many - and that for every cancellation, there are others willing to take their place.
The Terror Combat Task Force released an updated warning for Israelis yesterday, stating, "Of late, there is a concrete possibility that terror elements will attempt to strike at tourist targets in Egypt, especially in Sinai." Analysts assume that the warning was issued based on specific intelligence information provided by Egyptian intelligence.
In general, the Israeli vacationers are not taking the warnings very seriously. "There is terrorism all over the world," many were quoted as saying on Israel's various media outlets. "We are a generation that has grown accustomed to terrorism," said Yehuda Moradi of Eilat, Israel's southern port city bordering on the Sinai Desert.
Egypt is not the only destination for Israeli tourists; Eilat's hotels are also fully booked for the coming Rosh HaShanah holiday.
Měl jsem to v poště. Dále návštěva šéfa zpravodajců v Káhiře atd. Snad trvající karence těchto informací pro náš mediální svět nebude mít podobné důsledky.
