China issued a security warning for its citizens in Israel due to the increasing security risks in the Middle East.
In the warning published by China's Embassy in Israel, it was advised that Chinese citizens in the country monitor developments and pay attention to the security warnings issued by the Israeli government in light of the rising security risks in the Middle East.
"BE ON HIGH ALERT"
The warning requested citizens to be on high alert, to increase security measures and emergency preparations, and emphasized that they should not go out unless necessary, be aware of the locations of bomb shelters around them and the routes to those shelters, and ensure their personal safety and property.
TRAVEL RISK AT RED LEVEL
The warning reminded that the travel risk across Israel is currently at the "orange" level, indicating high risk, and pointed out that in areas near the country's northern border and Gaza (north of Nahariya, north and east of the Sea of Galilee, south of Ashkelon, and west of Netivot), the travel risk is at the "red level," indicating extremely high risk, advising Chinese citizens to avoid traveling to these areas in the near future.
The warning also requested that citizens and organizations currently in red-risk areas move to safe locations as soon as possible and avoid being near sensitive institutions and facilities.
WARNING ISSUED FOR IRAN AS WELL
China's Embassy in Iran had warned its citizens during the day to leave the country due to the increased external security risks.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Meanwhile, the United States had also approved the departure of non-emergency personnel from its embassy in Israel. Following this decision, made due to security threats, a notable statement came from the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who warned embassy staff and U.S. citizens, saying, "If you want to leave the country, do it today."
