After rocket attacks, US Embassy to operate with minimal staffing
The US Embassy in Tel Aviv announces that it will operate a skeleton crew until further notice after hostilities between Israel and Gaza-based terrorist groups press on into their second day.
According to a notice posted on the embassy website, American diplomatic personnel are also barred from traveling south of Tel Aviv without prior approval.
“Embassy families living in Tel Aviv are being advised to remain at home and in close contact with one another,” the embassy writes.
