Agency cites work of Thai security forces, including the arrest of alleged Hezbollah operative in lowering travel warning.
Thailand is once again safe for Israeli travelers, at least according to the National Security Council's Counter Terrorism Bureau.

JERUSALEM: -- The Bureau released a statement Thursday saying a previous "severe travel warning" issued two weeks ago over the likelihood of an immediate attack against Israelis in Bangkok has been canceled because of the work of the Thai security forces that included the arrest of an alleged Hezbollah operative there, and the uncovering of a Hezbollah weapons storehouse –and other Hezbollah facilities -- in the country.
