Israelis in Turkey have been warned to depart the country immediately after Israel’s National Security Council raised the travel warning to the country to its highest level.

The body also raised the travel alert for Morocco to level two, meaning Israelis in that country should stay vigilant, the Jerusalem Post reported.

The warnings come after two Israeli tourists were killed in Egypt last week when a policeman opened fire on them in Alexandria.
