The Foreign Office has issued a new urgent travel warning for 18 countries, including popular Mediterranean holiday destinations. The government's latest advisory cautions travellers about an increased risk of terrorist attacks in countries around the southern Mediterranean and the Middle East due to heightened tensions following recent events in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Countries highlighted in the alert include tourist favourites such as the United Arab Emirates, which encompasses Dubai, Morocco, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Tunisia. The warning also extends to Bahrain, Kuwait, Libya, Yemen, Qatar, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Oman, and Lebanon, reports Wales Online.
The Foreign Office has warned that a terror attack is 'likely' and stated that such attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by foreigners.
