The last of the Israelis left in a scenic surfing hotspot in Sri Lanka said they felt safe and would stay put despite a warning from Jerusalem to immediately leave due to the threat of a possible terrorist attack.

Sri Lanka increased security around a Jewish community center in Arugam Bay after the U.S. and Israel warned of potential threats to popular tourist locations.

Both the United States and Israel issued security alerts Wednesday warning of a potential attack on tourist locations in a coastal area of Sri Lanka.
