The Counterterrorism Bureau at the Prime Minister's Office issued a travel advisory on Saturday warning Israelis against traveling to India's Kashmir region and urging Israeli tourists already there to leave the area immediately.
Israel's warning follows a similar warning by the Jammu and Kashmir local government regarding the Kashmir valley, and a call for foreign tourists to leave the area immediately.

The CTB cited "high-level concrete threats" as the reason for its advisory.
Even before the new travel advisory, Israel has long warned its citizens to avoid the region due to terrorist threats and military tensions between India and Pakistan.
A government order in Indian-administered Kashmir on Friday asked tourists and Hindu pilgrims visiting the Kashmir valley "to curtail their stay" in the disputed territory, citing security concerns and intensifying tensions following India's announcement that it was sending more troops to the region.
Kashmir's home secretary, Shaleen Kabra, said that pilgrims and tourists should "curtail their stay in the [Kashmir] valley immediately and take necessary measures to return as soon as possible."
