Three persons have been arrested so far by the police over the intelligence reports on security threats to Israeli nationals in Sri Lanka, Public Security Minister Vijitha Herath said.
Minister Herath revealed this during a press conference being held in this regard.
He further stated that the public, local as well as foreigners, need not entertain any fears on probable attacks on Israelis or any others, as all possible security measures have been taken to ensure their safety.
Furthermore the Minister stated: “We will restore normalcy in a few days, allowing the travel advisories issued by the United States and other countries to be lifted. These nations are already satisfied with the measures we’ve implemented, and they have confidence in sending their citizens to Sri Lanka for tourism.”
“Tourist arrivals have not been affected. Even the day before, Israeli tourists arrived in Sri Lanka without any issues. Those currently here are enjoying their travels freely, without any obstacles. We have already successfully managed the situation”, he added.
