Israel and the United States have recently relaxed travel advisories for Sri Lanka’s Arugam Bay, following the arrest of several individuals linked to an Iranian plot to target Israelis.
The National Security Council of Israel, which issues travel alerts, downgraded its threat level for Arugam Bay from a “highly credible” level four to a more moderate level two, signifying a less immediate risk.
This change came just weeks after Israel had warned of a potential terrorist attack in the area, a popular destination for Israeli tourists.
