The U.S. Embassy in Israel has issued a security alert warning American citizens of heightened security risks across Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza.

The advisory comes in response to the resumption of red alerts, ongoing large-scale demonstrations, and an increasingly volatile security environment.

According to the embassy's statement, U.S. citizens are urged to exercise extreme caution, remain aware of their surroundings, and avoid large gatherings and demonstrations.

The advisory also highlighted the risk of sudden security incidents, including rocket and missile fire, mortar attacks, and drone intrusions, which often occur without warning.

The embassy emphasized that the security situation remains unpredictable and may change rapidly. It advised American citizens to be prepared by identifying the nearest shelter in case of emergency and staying informed through official security alerts.

More than 800 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,000 injured in a surprise aerial offensive by Israel on Gaza since Tuesday, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

Nearly 50,000 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 113,000 injured in a brutal Israeli military onslaught on Gaza since October 2023.
