The Thai Embassy in Israel has called on all Thais in Tel Aviv and nearby areas to avoid crowed places such as shopping centers and public places following fatal shooting that resulted in four deaths.
Surveillance video that spread online showed two assailants dressed in black suits and ties calmly walking into a cafe before pulling out guns and opening fire.
The warning was issued in a statement on on June 9 after a group of terrorists opened fire at Sarona Market located in the center of Tel Aviv and close to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Defense Ministry on Wednesday night. This incident killed four people and six people were wounded. The police arrested two terrorists at the scene.
“Following the incident, the Embassy is worried about the safety of the Thais residing in Tel Aviv and nearby cities, so it wishes to seek cooperation from Thais to closely follow the situation and be on alert. Therefore, they should avoid travelling to crowded public places,” read the statement.
