Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal called for Friday to be a global "day of jihad" and rage in support of the terrorist organization and its massacre of over 1,300 Israelis last Saturday.
Earlier, an Israeli employee at the Israeli embassy in Beijing, China was stabbed in an apparent terrorist attack.
The Israeli government issued a warning calling on Israeli citizens abroad to be cautious today in light of the Hamas call for a "day of rage."
The National Security Council and Foreign Ministry recommend all Israelis abroad be alert, avoid demonstrations, and, if needed, notify the local authorities of a possible protest or riot in their area.
The statement adds: "The National Security Council, all security bodies, and the Foreign Ministry will continue to work to protect the safety of Israeli citizens around the world."
