The US issued a travel warning for Israel as officials believe a direct attack by Iran could be imminent.
The US Department of State issued the travel advisory on Thursday, urging citizens to reconsider travel plans to Israel due to an “unpredictable” security situation and the threat of “terrorism and civil unrest.”
The advisory notice said: “Terrorist groups, lone-actor terrorists and other violent extremists continue plotting possible attacks in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. Terrorists and violent extremists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and local government facilities.”
Washington and its allies have contended that a major attack on Israel by Iran is imminent and may be launched in the coming days, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing officials familiar with the intelligence.
