Netherlands Asks Citizens Not To Travel To Israel

The Dutch government on Sunday warned its citizens not to travel to Israel after Iranian overnight airstrikes in the country.

The Foreign Ministry said the travel advisory for all parts of Israel had been raised from orange to red.

Further attacks cannot be ruled out, the ministry said in a statement, adding that the security situation in Israel is uncertain and could worsen. "Do not travel to Israel. Do not go there regardless of your situation," it said.

Countries with an orange travel advisory are recommended for urgent travel only, while those in red are recommended not to travel.
