Sharjah 24 – Reuters: Australia has warned its citizens not to travel to Israel and urged Australians there to leave the country while commercial flights remained available, citing the conflict between Israel and the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah.
"The Australian government has serious concerns the security situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories could deteriorate rapidly," Foreign Minister Penny Wong said in a post on X late Monday.
There continues to be a high threat of military attacks against Israel and Israeli interests across the region, the Australian government's travel advisory said.
