The Indian Intelligence Service has warned Israel that Jewish institutions and Israeli tourists are under direct threat of terror attacks in the country, according to Israeli and Indian reports.
Channel 12 News reported Monday that India has shared with Israel specific information pointing to advanced plans by terrorist cells associated with global jihad groups to target Israeli and Jewish sites throughout the country, including a synagogue in southern India and concentrations of Israelis in the country's north and west.

The information, which according to the report was received from "intelligence services of a third, friendly country," also pointed to the option that Israeli tourists could be abducted.
India has yet to apprehend the cell members, leading Jewish institutions to increase their security in response to the threat.
The Times of India reported in September that there were fears an attack could be carried out on a Jewish target by a cell affiliated with either the Al-Qaida or Islamic State terrorist groups.
