The National Security Council Counter-Terrorism Bureau announced the following advisory ahead of Lag B�Omer pertaining to the Tunisian island of Djerba in which Israelis and Jews from around the world are expected to participate.

According to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, �There is a severe travel warning for Tunisia (high concrete threat). Terrorist elements, especially those affiliated with Global Jihad, continue to operate in Tunisia and commit attacks; therefore, there is a high threat level against Jewish targets. It is recommended that visits to Tunisia be avoided�.

Jews arrive in Djerba, which is off the coast of Tunisia and gather by the shul known as el-Ghriba (the wondrous) and they visit kivrei tzaddikim.
