US Embassy in Israel Restricts Employees’ Travel as Tensions in Region Intensify
- The U.S. Embassy in Israel restricted travel for government employees and family members outside Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Be'er Sheva on Thursday due to rising tensions in the region.
- This travel restriction followed escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran, including Iran launching approximately 100 drones toward Israeli territory.
- Israel declared a state of emergency, closed its airspace, and planned to intercept the drones while the U.S. began evacuating non-essential staff in the Middle East amid security concerns.
- The U.S. Embassy announced that travel is limited for American government personnel and their families to remain within the regions of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Be'er Sheva due to a rapidly evolving and complex security situation.
- These measures reflect increasing risks of military conflict, with Israel reportedly ready for strikes on Iran and the U.S. preparing for further restrictions or evacuations if security deteriorates.
