12 October 2023 00:15 BST
The US State Department raised its travel alert warning for Israel to 'Reconsider Travel' on Wednesday.
Americans are urged to reconsider travel to Israel and the Occupied West Bank citing the threats of terrorism and civil unrest.
The travel warning is the State Department’s third highest, below ‘Do Not Travel.’
The update puts Israel’s warning level on par with Lebanon and Egypt. Neighbouring Jordan has a level two warning of 'Exercise Increased Caution'
