The Israeli Government has issued an alert calling on citizens or visitors living abroad to exercise extreme caution at the possibility of "imitators" of the attack in Sydney . Two people, apparently father and son, have killed at least 16 people on Bondi beachwhile celebrating the Jewish holiday in Januka.

"History has shown us that the followers of terrorism are likely to attempt attacks by imitating what happened. That is why it is essential that the Israelis abroad follow the recommendations," the Israeli Government's National Security Council has published in a statement.  Specifically, they have called for "avoiding unsafe public events, including synagogues, Chabad houses, Januca holidays, etc."



"Be vigilant when they are near Jewish or Israeli sites and warn the security forces if they detect anything unusual," they have warned.

Following today's attack, Russian Jews havesuspended the Januca party for the first time since 1991. The Grand Rabbi of Russia, Berel Lazar, has explained that the Moscow City Council has not authorized the event "for security reasons".

On the other hand, France has decided to strengthen security around Jewish places of worship "in the face of the continuing terrorist threat", especially during the celebrations between 14 and 22 December, as explained by Interior Minister Laurent Nunez in a directive sent to the prefects this Sunday.
