US moves embassy staff out of rocket-hit Beersheba
As rockets continue to rain down on southern Israel, the US Embassy announces it has relocated embassy staff working in Beersheba to the Tel Aviv suburb of Herzliya.
“The Embassy and its annexes continue to operate at minimal staffing. The Consular Section will continue to provide only emergency services. Embassy personnel are not permitted to travel south of greater Tel Aviv without prior approval,” the embassy said in a statement. “Embassy families living in Tel Aviv and greater Tel Aviv, such as Herzliya, are being advised to remain in close communication with one another.”
