In view of the latest developments in Israel, the Government today raised the Outbound Travel Alert for the country to red.

Hong Kong residents intending to visit the country should adjust their travel plans and avoid non-essential travel. Those already there should exercise caution, attend to personal safety, avoid protests and large gatherings of people, and monitor local announcements on the latest situation.

Residents should also avoid all travel to Gaza and nearby areas due to the volatile security situation.

The Security Bureau will continue to closely monitor the situation and issue updates through the media and its webpage.

Hong Kong residents in Israel who need assistance can call the Immigration Department on (852)1868, or contact the Chinese Embassy on (972) 528391282. They can also refer to the Israel Defence Forces' Home Front Command website for advice on surviving a rocket or missile attack.
