The US embassy, Sri Lankan police, and Israel's national security council collectively warned of a serious terrorist threat in Arugam Bay, specifically targeting Israeli travellers.
Officials indicated the threat was linked to ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, believed to have originated in Iran as a revenge act for Israel's regional actions.
Sri Lanka's police chief highlighted the unusual nature of the threat, noting the spreading tensions from the Middle East have now reached their once-calm coastal paradise.
In Arugam Bay, the presence of Hebrew signage and the popular influx of over 1,000 Israeli tourists during high season reflect a significant cultural exchange.
