The travel warning comes days after the Turkish government issued an alert for attacks against Jewish and Christian targets in the country.

“The deadly attack in central Istanbul, in which a group of Israeli tourists was hurt, once again demonstrates the high threat in Turkey posed by ISIS elements to tourist sites and shows a high capability to carry out more attacks, ” said the statement.

It is also added that the threat exists “throughout Turkey. We recommend avoiding visiting Turkey,  and to those in the country to leave as soon as possible.”
