Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

We’ve reviewed our travel advice for Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories and continue to advise reconsider your need to travel overall due to the volatile security situation, armed conflict, civil unrest and terrorism. We continue to advise do not travel to Gaza and areas near the border with Gaza, border areas with Lebanon and the West Bank (excluding East Jerusalem). If you’re in Israel, you should reconsider whether you need to remain and, if not, depart when it’s safe to do so.

There’s an ongoing threat of missile and rocket attacks in Israel. You shouldn’t travel to Israeli border areas with Lebanon. 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’).

Terror attacks can occur anywhere at any time, including by lone actors. Be alert to personal safety risks. There continues to be a high threat of military and terrorist attacks against Israel and Israeli interests across the region. The security situation could deteriorate quickly, with little or no notice. This has resulted and may continue to result in airspace closures, flight cancellations, diversions, and other travel disruptions.

We now advise:

Reconsider your need to travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories overall due to the volatile security situation, armed conflict, civil unrest and terrorism.
