The U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory for Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, citing heightened security risks amid renewed rocket fire and widespread anti-government protests.
In a security alert published by the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, officials warned American citizens of the potential for sudden violence and advised them to avoid large gatherings and demonstrations. The alert comes as mass protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continue across Israel, adding to an already tense security environment.
