Sri Lanka urges Israeli tourists to leave after three locals arrested over possible attack

Sri Lankan authorities have apprehended three individuals in connection with a potential threat against Israeli tourists. This decision was made after the U.S. and Israel issued warnings to their citizens to avoid a popular tourist area in the eastern part of the country. The arrests are part of a heightened security measure implemented by the authorities in the region, with a particular focus on the Arugam Bay area, which has been designated as a level four threat. The exact nature of the threat remains unclear, although it appears to be linked to a possible terrorist attack. The individuals taken into custody are being interrogated, with further information expected to be released in due course.
