"Prepare for the possibility of flight cancellations": Unusual message from the US Embassy
In the shadow of the security situation and the alertness ahead of the weekend, the US Embassy in Israel published an unusual message to its citizens, urging them to remain vigilant and prepare for the possibility of flight cancellations and disruptions. In Israel, authorities are maintaining alertness, but there are no official announcements regarding potential flight cancellations.
Against the backdrop of the tense security situation in the Middle East and the alertness ahead of the weekend, the US Embassy in Israel published a message to its citizens this evening, Friday: "Due to the growing tension in the Middle East, the security situation remains complex and there is a concern of an unexpected escalation. US citizens should exercise increased caution, remain vigilant, and prepare for the possibility of flight cancellations, airspace closures, and other travel disruptions." Meanwhile, in Israel, authorities are maintaining alertness, but there is no official announcement regarding possible flight cancellations. As a reminder, earlier this week, the CEO of the Israel Airports Authority, Sharon Kedmi, told Globes that the Authority is working to keep flights operating as scheduled, and this will be possible if no additional American refueling aircraft land at Ben Gurion Airport.
