“Out of an abundance of caution following reports that Israel conducted a retaliatory strike inside Iran, US government employees and their family members are restricted from personal travel outside the greater Tel Aviv” area, as well as the Jerusalem and Beersheva areas, “until further notice”, a security advisory issued by the mission on its website has said, Al Jazeera reports.

Due to a “complex” security environment that “can change quickly”, the embassy “may further restrict or prohibit” the concerned people from travelling to parts of Israel, Jerusalem’s Old City and the occupied West Bank, the advisory read.
