The war between Israel and Hamas has increased tensions in the Middle East. (Representative)
Washington, United States:
The State Department on Thursday issued a rare “global caution advisory” to U.S. citizens around the world, citing terrorism and the possibility of anti-American demonstrations.
The alert said U.S. citizens should be aware of “heightened tensions in various locations around the world.”
This includes “potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations, or violent acts against U.S. citizens and interests.”
The war between Hamas in Gaza and US ally Israel has increased tensions in the Middle East.
The State Department urged Americans to “remain alert at locations frequented by tourists” and sign up for a program known as STEP, which can more quickly locate citizens in an emergency.
