Amid heightened tensions over an anticipated attack on Israel from Iran, the chief of the Israeli Air Force, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, has barred servicemembers from traveling abroad, the military says.
The directive applies to career officers and NCOs, not conscripts.
The IDF says that the move follows a new assessment of the situation, but there are no changes to guidelines for civilians.
