U.S. State Department asks travelers to ‘reconsider travel’ to Israel and West Bank
The U.S. State Department has raised the advisory level for travel to Israel and the West Bank to Level 3, asking American citizens to “reconsider travel due to terrorism and civil unrest.”
“Terrorist groups, lone-actor terrorists and other violent extremists continue plotting possible attacks in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza,” the advisory said. “Terrorists and violent extremists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and local government facilities.”
The U.S. State Department’s travel advisory for Gaza remains at Level 4 – “do not travel due to terrorism, civil unrest, and armed conflict.”
