The warning quoted "reliable and current intelligence" about a kidnapping plot and called on "all Israelis in Sinai to leave immediately and return to Israel."

According to the bureau, Israeli intelligence agencies have received information regarding plans by the Army of Islam – a Palestinian group affiliated with al Qaeda and based in the Gaza Strip – to kidnap Israelis currently vacationing in the Sinai.Israelis in Sinai Advised to Leave Immediately: Alqaeda May Attack
