JERUSALEM, Dec. 7 (Xinhuanet) -- The anti-terror command at the Israeli Prime Minister's Office on Tuesday called on all Israelis to leave Egypt's Sinai Peninsula immediately due to warnings that terrorists plan to kidnap vacationers.

    "In recent days the threat of Israelis being kidnapped in Sinai has worsened," the office said in a statement.

    The anti-terror unit issued a similar warning in October, recommending that Israelis refrain from crossing into Sinai and calling on Israelis already there to return to Israel immediately.

    It announced that the threat level for Israelis in Egypt, including Sinai, was at its highest in September.

    There have been three terror attacks in the Egyptian peninsula since October 2004.

    The first one targeting the Hilton Taba and two resorts in October last year killed 34 people, 12 of them Israelis. The second hit three locations in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in July, killing 88 people and wounding hundreds of others, while the third targeted Multinational Force and Observers in northern Sinai in August.

    The latest travel warning was issued one day after a deadly suicide bombing attack in the northern Israeli city of Netanya killed five Israelis and wounded 40 others. Enditem
