US also tells citizens to avoid northern Israel border areas

The United States issues a travel advisory instructing its citizens not to travel to northern Israel within 2.5 miles of the Lebanon or Syrian borders, citing the “rising tensions” between Hezbollah and Israel.

After restricting travel to all of Lebanon following Israel’s assassination of the terror group’s top military commander, the US State Department in a travel advisory says US government employees are “restricted” from travel to the border areas unless in full coordination with Israeli security forces.

“Cross-border rocket, missile, and drone strikes continue to impact this area daily and have resulted in casualties,” it says. “The Israeli authorities already restrict travel to these areas.”
