There’s ongoing armed conflict in Southern Israel and Gaza. Rockets have been fired at Israel from Gaza. There have been separate terror attacks on civilians. Monitor local media and public safety information updates through the National Emergency Portal (accessible in Israel only). If you’re in Gaza, be aware of your surroundings, and review your personal security plans. Monitor your own organisation’s security contacts for information about changing security conditions and alerts to seek shelter. If you need emergency consular assistance, contact the Australian Government’s Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305. We may not be able to provide consular help in Gaza. See ‘Safety’. Some flights out of Israel have been delayed or cancelled. See ‘Travel’.
We advise:
Exercise a high degree of caution in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories overall due to civil unrest and the threat of terrorist attack, rocket fire and military confrontation.
Higher levels apply in some areas.
