US Embassy warns of potential flight cancellations due to security situation
The embassy later issued a second security alert, temporarily restricting all US government personnel and their families from personal travel to the West Bank due to "increased volatility."
The US Embassy in Jerusalem issued a warning on Friday, July 24, 2026, advising US citizens to prepare for potential flight cancellations and travel disruptions from Ben-Gurion and Haifa airports due to "heightened tensions in the Middle East." This alert came as Ben-Gurion Airport temporarily suspended takeoffs for routine maintenance. The embassy later restricted personal travel for US government personnel and their families to the West Bank, citing "security concerns and increased volatility." These warnings follow recent escalations, including renewed US and Iranian strikes, Houthi attacks on Saudi tankers, and Iranian missile and drone attacks intercepted by Jordan and Kuwait.
