The security situation could deteriorate at short notice. Flight cancellations and disruptions could occur with little or no notice, including due to airport and airspace closures. Ben Gurion International Airport is returning to full operations, with commercial options becoming increasingly available. If you have an existing ticket, contact your travel provider or airline. This may be the fastest way for you to reach your destination.
We continue to advise do not travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories due to the volatile security situation, armed conflict, civil unrest and terrorism. If you’re in Israel, you should depart when it’s safe to do so.
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’).
If you intend to travel by land into a neighbouring country, you should check the latest public information from local authorities on entry requirements and border arrangements, including opening times. Border crossing points may be closed without notice. Land border crossings to Jordan may open and close at short notice. Before you travel, check for regular opening times (see ‘Safety’ and land border crossings in ‘Travel’).
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.
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.
