Terror alert in Tel Aviv
The Border Guard is out in force in the streets of Tel Aviv, checking cars one by one in some of the poshest parts of the city. We passed them on the way to work this morning and wondered.
It turns out there is some hard intelligence about an imminent terror threat in the city:
Tel Aviv police were on high alert Tuesday morning after receiving intelligence on plans to carry out a terror attack in the city.
In light of the alert, roadblocks were set up on roads leading in and out of the city, and policemen were deployed in large numbers on the streets. Police also sent a helicopter to aid it in its search for suspects.
The increased level of security led to heavy traffic in the Gush Dan area, and police were advising drivers to avoid the area at this time.
