UK issues travel warning for Israel, Palestine
LONDON (AA) – Britain has issued a travel warning, advising its citizens to avoid all non-essential travel to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Amid escalating tension in the region, the Foreign Office has issued an update urging Britons to avoid non-essential travel to Israel and Palestine.
In addition, it also advised against all travel to some regions including Gaza, southwest of Ashkelon, and west of Be’er Sheva.
The Gaza-based Hamas resistance group launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against Israel on Saturday morning, firing a barrage of rockets in retaliation to the repeated stormings of sacred Al Aqsa mosque and the steep rise in attacks by Israeli settlers.
In retaliation, the Israeli military bombarded the Gaza Strip, razing down many high-rise buildings — many of them residential — on Saturday and Sunday.
At least 700 Israelis have been killed so far, while the death toll on the Palestinian side has jumped to 493.
