The Embassy of Ukraine in Israel has issued recommendations in connection with the aggravation of the security situation in this country.
According to Ukrinform, the message of the Embassy of Ukraine in the State of Israel reads: "Due to the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation and massive rocket and mortar attacks on the Southern Territories of Israel, as well as possible shelling of the central part of Israel, including the city of Jerusalem, Ukrainian citizens are advised to remain vigilant and closely monitor reports from local competent Israeli authorities to raise awareness of their own security."
In case of shelling, a warning siren can be activated. The Embassy calls on Ukrainian citizens to treat all such warnings as real and follow the instructions of local authorities.
In case of staying in settlements in the immediate vicinity of the Gaza Strip, citizens are advised to immediately use bomb shelters when the air alarm is turned on.
For more information, Ukrainian citizens who are in Israel should follow the website of the internal front command of the Israel Defense Forces.
