The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continue to conduct military operations in Gaza against Hamas, a U.S. government-designated foreign terrorist organization, which was responsible for the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. As a result of the armed conflict, the security environment within Gaza and on its borders is extremely dangerous and volatile. The pedestrian crossing (Erez Crossing) between Gaza and Israel was damaged on October 7 and remains closed, and the pedestrian crossing between Egypt and Gaza has been closed since May 7 and it is unknown when it will re-open. There are sporadic telecommunication and internet outages within Gaza further inhibiting the ability of residents to obtain information.</p> <p>If a U.S. citizen, Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR), or qualified immediate family member desires our assistance and has not already provided their information to the Department of State, please email U.S. Embassy Jerusalem at <a href="mailto:JerusalemACS@state.gov">JerusalemACS@state.gov </a>with a copy of the individual’s travel document as well as an explanation or proof of relationship.</p> <p>Visit our website for <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/go/TraveltoHighRiskAreas.html">Travel to High Risk Areas</a>.</p> <p>If you decide to travel to Gaza:</p> <ul> <li>Be prepared for an indefinite stay as the crossings between Gaza with Israel and Egypt can close without advance notice and for long periods during times of unrest and armed conflict.</li> <li>Have a plan for entering and departing Gaza that does not rely on U.S. government assistance.</li> <li>Households with infants and young children should plan for food and supplies, such as diapers and wipes, formula or baby food, and a change of clothing.</li> <li>If you take medication, make sure to have at least five days’ worth at any given time – if you can, we encourage enough for two weeks beyond your scheduled trip and have a copy of your prescriptions handy.</li> <li>If you use assistive or medical devices that require a power supply, be sure to find backup power or other ways that will sustain your device or equipment during a power outage.</li> <li>Draft a will and designate appropriate insurance beneficiaries and/or power of attorney.</li> <li>Discuss a plan with loved ones regarding care/custody of children, pets, property, belongings, non-liquid assets (collections, artwork, etc.), funeral wishes, etc.</li> <li>Leave DNA samples with your medical provider in case it is necessary for your family to access them.</li> </ul> <p>Please be sure to visit our website for <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/crisis_and_disaster_abroad_be_ready.html">How to Prepare for a Crisis</a> for information that may be helpful.</p> <p><b>Israel – Reconsider Travel (see below for specific advice on travel within 50 kilometers/31.1 miles of Lebanese and Syrian borders)</b></p> <p>Reconsider travel due to <b>terrorism</b> and <b>civil unrest</b>.</p> <p>The security situation remains unpredictable, and U.S. citizens are reminded to remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness as security incidents, including mortar and rocket fire and armed UAV intrusions, often take place without warning.</p> <p>U.S. government employees in Israel under Chief of Mission security responsibility are currently restricted from personal travel to the following locations:</p> <ul> <li>Within 11.3 kilometers/seven miles of the Gaza demarcation line, as well as the cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon; and</li> <li>Within 2.4 kilometers/1.5 miles of the Israel-Egypt border.</li> </ul> <p>Any official travel of U.S. government personnel within these areas requires approval from the Embassy’s security office.</p> <p>Additional travel restrictions may be imposed on U.S. government employees under Chief of Mission security responsibility with little to no notice due to increased security issues or threats.</p> <p><b>Northern Israel (within 50 kilometers/31.1 miles of Lebanese and Syrian borders) – Do Not Travel</b></p> <p>Because of the ongoing armed conflict between Hizballah and Israel, cross-border rocket, missile, and UAV strikes have increased and continue to impact this area daily and have resulted in civilian injuries and deaths.

Foreign laws and legal systems can be significantly different from those of the United States. If you violate Israeli or Palestinian Authority (PA) laws, even unknowingly, being a U.S. citizen will not help you avoid arrest or prosecution. The Israeli government will treat dual U.S-Israeli citizens as Israeli citizens, and the Palestinian Authority will treat dual U.S.-PA passport holders as PA "citizens”– regardless of whether they entered Israel or PA-administered area on a U.S. passport.</p> <p>Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking illegal drugs in Israel and PA-administered areas are severe and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. Individuals expressing views, including on social media, which the Government of Israel considers incitement to violence or hate speech may face criminal penalties, even if the the substance and manner in which those views are expressed would be lawful in the United States. PA security officials have also arrested Palestinians who posted criticism of the PA and PA leadership online. In Gaza, individuals publicly criticizing authorities risk reprisal by Hamas, including arrest, interrogation, seizure of property, and harassment.</p> <p>Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law.

In case of arrest or detention, U.S. citizens should promptly identify themselves as such to the arresting authorities and request that the authorities notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. There are credible reports that U.S. citizens have been mistreated by Israeli security forces during their arrest and interrogation.</li> <li>Some youths over the age of 12 have been tried as adults; youths over the age of 14 can be imprisoned. </li> <li>Arrestees have also reported pressure to sign documents in Hebrew that they do not understand.</li> <li>U.S. citizens arrested in Israel for criminal or security offenses are entitled to legal representation provided by the Government of Israel. U.S. citizens arrested by Israeli authorities for security offenses may be prevented from communicating with lawyers, family members, or consular officers for lengthy periods. Even after notification, consular access to the arrested individual may be delayed for days to several weeks. Under Israeli law, individuals detained for security offenses may be held for up to six months without charges.</li> </ul> <p><b>Arrests and Arrest Notification by the Palestinian Authority (PA):</b></p> <ul> <li>In case of arrest or detention, U.S. citizens should promptly identify themselves as such to the arresting authorities and should request that the U.S. Embassy be notified immediately. Individuals arrested by PA security forces in the West Bank for security offenses may be prohibited from communicating with lawyers, family members, or consular officers for lengthy periods. In addition, they may be held in custody for long periods without formal charges or before being brought before a judge for an arrest extension. The PA often does not notify the U.S. Embassy of such arrests, and consular access to arrestees is often delayed. There are credible reports that arrested individuals, including U.S. citizens, have been mistreated by PA security forces during their arrest and interrogation.</li> </ul> <p><b>Gaza:</b> Since Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in June 2007, they have dominated security matters in Gaza, but this control has been degraded by Israel’s ongoing military operations against Hamas. The U.S. government is severely limited in what it can do to assist those detained in Gaza. In case of arrest or detention by Israeli security forces in Gaza, U.S. citizens should promptly identify themselves as such to the arresting authorities and should request that the U.S. Embassy be notified immediately.</p> <p><b>Israeli Court Jurisdiction:</b> Military, civil and religious courts in Israel actively exercise their authority to bar certain individuals, including nonresidents, from leaving the country until debts or other legal claims and matters against them are resolved. Israel's religious courts exercise jurisdiction over all citizens and residents of Israel in cases of marriage, divorce, child custody, and child support. U.S. citizens, including those without Israeli citizenship, may be subject to involuntary and prolonged stays (and even imprisonment) in Israel if a case is filed against them in a religious court, even if their marriage took place in the United States, and regardless of whether their spouse is present in Israel. The U.S. Embassy is unable to cancel the debt of a U.S. citizen or guarantee their departure from Israel when they face a bar from leaving the country until debts are resolved. <br>  <br> <b>Purchases of Property:</b> U.S. citizens should always seek legal advice before buying or leasing property in the West Bank and Gaza.

Israeli anti-discrimination laws protect LGBTQI+ individuals. Acceptance and tolerance of LGBQTI+ people vary throughout the country and from neighborhood to neighborhood. As of August 2014, the Law of Return allows that same-sex spouses of Jews immigrating to Israel – known as “making Aliyah” – are eligible to make Aliyah with their spouses and receive Israeli citizenship. <br>  <br> The legal systems in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are based on the 1960 Jordanian penal code which prohibits consensual same-sex sexual activity. However, the PA has not prosecuted individuals suspected of such activity. Societal discrimination, including from families, based on cultural and religious traditions is commonplace, making the West Bank and Gaza challenging environments for LGBTQI+ persons. PA security officers have harassed, abused, and sometimes arrested LGBTQI+ individuals because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. NGOs have reported that Hamas also harassed and detained persons in Gaza due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. <br>  <br> LGBTQI+ travelers are encouraged to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings, especially when entering religious or socially conservative areas.</p> <p>Israel’s <a href="https://www.lgbt.org.il/english-new">Aguda</a> organization provides useful information on LGBTQI+ issues in Israel. <br>  <br> See<i> </i>our <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/travelers-with-special-considerations/lgbtqi.html">LGBTQI+ Travel Information page</a> and section 6 of the <a href="https://www.state.gov/reports-bureau-of-democracy-human-rights-and-labor/country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/">Department of State's Human Rights report</a> for further details.</p> <p><b>Persons with Mobility Issues:</b> Individuals with mobility issues may find accessibility and accommodation in Israel very different from in the United States. Legislation mandates access to buildings and transportation, as well as accommodations for persons with disabilities in services and the workplace. However, the government enforces the laws with only limited success. Societal discrimination and lack of accessibility persist in employment and housing. The law mandates accessibility to urban public transportation but not to intercity buses. Most train stations maintain access for persons with disabilities; however, many buses still do not have such access. Television stations include subtitles or sign language, and the courts accommodate testimony from persons with intellectual disabilities or mental illness. Tourists will find restaurants, foot paths, and public transportation less accessible than in the United States.</p> <p>PA law prohibits discrimination based on disability. The Palestinian Disability Law was ratified in 1999, but implementation has been slow. It does not mandate access to buildings, information, or communications. Palestinians with disabilities continue to receive uneven and poor-quality services and care. Familial and societal discrimination against persons with disabilities exists in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.</p> <p><b>Students:</b> See our <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/travelers-with-special-considerations/students.html">Students Abroad</a> page and <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/IsraeltheWestBankandGaza.html#ExternalPopup">FBI travel tips</a>.</p> <p><b>Women Travelers:</b> See our travel tips for <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/travelers-with-special-considerations/women-travelers.html">Women Travelers</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class='set_1 tsg-rwd-accordion-csi-show'> <a class="tsg-rwd-accordion-header" href="javascript:void(0);" title="Health" aria-expanded="false"> <h4 class="tsg-rwd-accordion-header-name-frame"> Health </h4> <div class='tsg-rwd-accordion-open'><span class="fa fa- fa-plus-circle"></span></div> <div class='tsg-rwd-accordion-close'><span class="fa fa-minus-circle"></span></div> </a> <div class='tsg-rwd-accordion-copy' role="region"> <p>For emergency services in Israel, dial 101 for ambulances, and 100 for police.</p> <p>Modern medical care and medicines are available in Israel.

The information below is provided for general reference only and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.</p> <ul> <li><b><i><u>Israel:</u> </i></b>Israeli roads and highways tend to be crowded, especially in urban areas. The Government of Israel requires that all occupants of passenger cars always wear seat belts. Passenger cars must use headlights during all intercity travel, both day and night, and during winter. All drivers are required to carry fluorescent vests and safety triangles in the car with them at all times, and they are required to wear the vests whenever they get out of their cars to make repairs or change tires. If a vehicle is stopped for a traffic violation and it does not contain a fluorescent vest, the driver will be fined. These vests can be purchased for a nominal price in all local gas stations. While mobile phone use is prohibited while driving, hands-free units are authorized. The acceptable limit for blood alcohol content is lower in Israel than in the United States.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b><u><i>West Bank and Gaza:</i></u></b> Crowded roads are common in the West Bank. During periods of heightened tension in the West Bank, protestors have targeted cars and buses with stone throwing, improvised incendiary devices, small arms fire, barricades, and burning tires. Emergency services may be delayed by the need for Palestinian authorities to coordinate with Israeli officials. Seat belt use is required, and drivers may not drink alcohol. Individuals involved in accidents resulting in death or injury may be detained by police pending an investigation. The roads in Gaza have been severely degraded in areas where armed conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken place.</li> </ul> <p><b>Traffic Laws:</b> Aggressive driving is commonplace, and many drivers fail to maintain safe following distances or signal before changing lanes or making turns. Overtaking at high-speed on undivided two-lane roads is common and may result in accidents. Drivers are also prone to stop suddenly on roads without warning, especially in the right lane. Drivers should use caution, as Israel has a high rate of fatalities from automobile accidents.</p> <p>Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information.
