Uzbek Embassy in Israel Issues Warning to Nationals
The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Israel has issued a warning to Uzbek citizens, urging them to take precautions and avoid visiting certain areas of the country. This advisory comes amidst a heightened security situation in Israel.
The embassy strongly advises Uzbek citizens to refrain from visiting specific areas in Israel and to avoid large gatherings of people if possible. The warning may be related to the escalating tensions between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah along the northern border with Lebanon, leading to increased shelling activities in recent months.
Uzbek citizens are encouraged to stay updated with news and official communications from Israeli authorities and to subscribe to notifications and alerts from the Israeli Home Front Command through their mobile application or website. It is also recommended to always carry identification documents and have the contact information of the Uzbekistan Embassy on hand for emergency situations.
This warning follows a similar advisory from Kyrgyz authorities, advising their citizens to avoid traveling to Lebanon and Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently visited the border with Lebanon, where he witnessed military exercises and expressed confidence in Israel’s ability to win in a potential conflict with Hezbollah.
It is crucial for Uzbek citizens in Israel to heed these warnings and remain vigilant during this period of heightened security concerns.
