The security situation in the Palestinian Territories and in Israel – where the State of War declared by the Israeli Authorities is still in force – remains extremely fluid and constantly evolving: missile launches and terrorist attacks continue to occur in various locations. Our compatriots are therefore invited to postpone their trip in the event of travel not dictated by compelling and non-postponable reasons. For information and updates on the situation, it is recommended to check the website: https://www.viaggiaresicuri.it
In case of emergency, the Consulate General in Jerusalem is always available at the emergency number: 00972 (0) 505 327166.
All Italian citizens present in Jerusalem and West Bank are advised to register their presence in the website “Dove siamo nel Mondo” (https://www.dovesialmondo.it/home.html) and to download the Crisis Unit APP (https://www.viaggiaresicuri.it/download-app), activating the geo-localisation.
As of today, few airlines are operating commercial flights to and from Tel Aviv.
Our citizens are advised to check the opening hours of the border land crossing points with Jordan with the local authorities.

Procedures and provisions in case of alarm
Any risk of missile attack shall be reported through the activation of a warning siren system. In this case, follow the instructions below:
