US Embassy JerusalemOct 18

Due to escalated regional hostilities, U.S. Embassies across the Middle East have issued a synchronized warning about a highly complex and volatile security environment, with a high risk of sudden flight cancellations, immediate airspace closures, and severe travel disruptions. Exercise heightened vigilance, and if an aerial attack occurs, move away from glass doors, windows, and potential falling debris and shelter indoors immediately. Check your flight's departure status directly with your airline before heading to any airport, maintain a low profile, and keep your phone charged to receive local emergency broadcasts.
