Following military strikes in Iran there’s an increased threat of military and terrorist attacks against Israel. Israel has declared a national state of emergency. There’s an ongoing threat of missile and rocket attacks in Israel. 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 deteriorate rapidly with little or no notice. Flight cancellations and disruptions could continue with little or no notice including due to airport and airspace closures. If you’re in Israel, you should reconsider whether you need to remain and, if not, 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 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:
Do not travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories overall due to the volatile security situation, armed conflict, civil unrest and terrorism.
