Israel has issued an "urgent" warning to its citizens to leave Sinai in Egypt amid fears of a terrorist plot.
The prime minister's office said it had "concrete evidence" that terrorists were planning to attempt to kidnap Israelis in the peninsula. Israel took the unusual step of calling on families of the Israelis who are visiting Sinai to contact them.
It fears that Palestinian militants will transfer hostages to Gaza through tunnels under the border.
In unusually strong wording, the Israeli anti-terror office called on "all Israelis residing in Sinai to leave immediately and return home".
Families of Israelis in the peninsula were urged to contact them and update them on the travel warning.
Israel's anti-terror office has a standing travel advisory telling Israelis to stay out of the Sinai desert because of the threat of terror attacks.
Threats continue to come against Israel!
