Following military strikes in Iran, there are military and rocket attacks against Israel. Israel has declared a national state of emergency. In an attack or other armed conflict, you should take shelter, follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media and public safety information updates through the National Emergency Portal (accessible in Israel only – see ‘Safety’). See our general advice on protecting your safety during an armed conflict (see ‘Safety’).
The security situation could continue to deteriorate rapidly. Flight cancellations and disruptions could continue with little or no notice, including due to airport and airspace closures. Check with your airline for the latest updates before travelling. If you’re in Israel, you should depart when it’s safe to do so.
Terror attacks can occur anywhere at any time, including by lone actors. Be alert to personal safety risks. There continues to be a very high threat of military and terrorist attacks against Israel and Israeli interests across the region.
If you’re an Australian citizen or permanent resident in Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories, you can now register on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s crisis registration portal. See the ‘Safety’ section for details on how to register. We will communicate directly with registered Australians with important updates.
If you need emergency consular assistance, contact the Australian Government’s Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 (if you’re overseas) and 1300 555 135 (in Australia).
We now advise:
Do not travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories overall due to the volatile security situation, armed conflict, civil unrest and terrorism.
