Canada raises travel advisory for Israel to ‘avoid all travel’ due to escalating violence | CBC News
Fears of a wider regional conflict have grown in the wake of recent actions between Israel and Hezbollah, a militant group based in neighbouring Lebanon.
‘The security situation can deteriorate further without warning,’ agency says
Global Affairs on Saturday urged Canadians to avoid all travel to Israel due to “the ongoing regional armed conflict and the unpredictable security situation.”
The agency’s previous travel advisory for Israel only urged against non-essential travel.
The advisory now reads: “Avoid all travel due to the ongoing regional armed conflict and the unpredictable security situation. The security situation can deteriorate further without warning.”
Fears of a wider regional conflict have grown in the wake of recent actions between Israel and Hezbollah, a militant group based in neighbouring Lebanon.
A Hezbollah commander was recently killed by an Israel airstrike in the Lebanese capital of Beirut. Israel alleges that the killed commander was behind a rocket strike that killed 12 young people in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, but Hezbollah has denied the charge.
