The US is telling its citizens not to travel to Israel, raising its advisory amid the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.
The decision comes two days after the US authorized the voluntary departure of non-emergency government employees and the family members of all government employees.
The travel advisory applies to the West Bank and Gaza Strip as well.
