05/11/2021 (Israel) - Avoid the city of Jerusalem, notably the areas of Sheikh Jarrah and the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, through at least mid-May due to the potential for violence. Exercise increased caution near any demonstrations that may materialize. Confirm the availability of transport and allow additional time to reach destinations in Jerusalem, as well as throughout Israel and the West Bank. Heed the instructions of security personnel.
If possible, avoid areas within 5 km (3 miles) of the Gaza buffer zone until the security situation improves. If incoming mortar rounds or rockets are reported in southern Israel or warning sirens sound in the general vicinity, report to the nearest bomb shelter and await further instructions from authorities. If there is no shelter nearby, stay indoors, away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, move to a ground floor or basement.
Individuals or entities operating in the Gaza Strip are advised to avoid known Hamas security force locations, which are common targets for Israeli retaliatory airstrikes. Establish a thorough communication plan to ensure rapid accountability for all personnel operating in southern Israel and the Gaza Strip.
