State Department urges ‘worldwide caution’ for Americans overseas as Israel-Hamas war rages appeared on www.foxnews.com by Greg Norman.
The U.S. State Department has issued a new “worldwide caution” to Americans traveling around the globe as the war rages on Thursday between Israel and Hamas.
“Due to increased tensions in various locations around the world, the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests, the Department of State advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution,” the advisory read.
The warning came two days after the State Department issued an advisory for Americans to not travel to Lebanon “due to the unpredictable security situation related to rocket, missile, and artillery exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah or other armed militant factions.”
“On, October 17, 2023, the Department authorized the voluntary, temporary departure of family members of U.S. government personnel and some non-emergency personnel from U.S. Embassy Beirut due to the unpredictable security situation in Lebanon,” that message read.

It advised Americans within Lebanon not to travel to its border with Israel over concerns about the potential for armed conflict.
“Large demonstrations have erupted in the wake of recent violence in Israel and Gaza. U.S. citizens should avoid demonstrations and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings or protests as some of these have turned violent,” it said. “Protesters have blocked major roads, including thoroughfares between downtown Beirut and the area where the U.S. Embassy is located, and between Beirut and Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport.”
“There have been rocket, missile, and artillery exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah or other armed militant factions impacting southern Lebanon, most recently related to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas,” the advisory added. “The U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens to avoid this border area.”
