Israel has issued travel warnings for its citizens heading to Western Europe and Australia, urging them to exercise caution and avoid displaying their identities amid escalating tensions during the conflict period.
According to Bloomberg, the extended travel alerts cover the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, and Australia, with the threat level raised from 1 to 2.
Israel has advised travelers to these destinations to steer clear of large gatherings, including pro-Palestinian marches and other events that may pose risks to Israelis.
The government's concern stems from Iran's alleged intentions to target Israeli nationals abroad, including Jewish sites.
On Monday, the Israeli military expanded its operations in the Gaza Strip, resulting in an increasing number of civilian Palestinian casualties, signaling further escalation in the region. Daniel Hagari, the army's spokesperson, stated, "The Israeli army continues to expand its ground operation against Hamas throughout the Gaza Strip," adding, "The army is operating wherever there are Hamas strongholds."
Intensive Israeli attacks in Gaza resumed last Friday following a week-long humanitarian ceasefire that allowed aid to enter the region and the exchange of detainees between Israel and the Hamas movement.
