The Chinese embassy in Israel is urging Chinese citizens to return home or leave the country via land border crossings as soon as possible, on grounds that the security situation has deteriorated and Israeli airspace remains closed.
“At present, the Israeli-Iranian conflict continues to escalate, with civilian facilities damaged and civilian casualties increasing, making the security situation even more severe,” the embassy warns in a notice on WeChat.
The notice recommends that Chinese citizens leave via the land crossing toward Jordan.
