The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv has issued a warning to American citizens to be cautious in their travel in southern Israel due to the ongoing security situation, despite the upbeat message of hope for a peaceful settlement between Israel and Gaza terrorists broadcast by the Obama administration.
The U.S. security warning was folded into a "Warden Message" dated February 6, in which the U.S. provided an update on travel restrictions for employees of the Tel Aviv embassy. The warning included a link to the revised Worldwide Caution as well as a reminder of the embassy's various working hours.
