Israel Advises Citizens Against Travel to Ethiopia's Tigray Region
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a travel advisory urging its citizens to refrain from visiting the Tigray region in Ethiopia and to exercise heightened caution. According to N12, the ministry recommended that Israelis currently in Tigray minimize their movements, avoid crowds, demonstrations, and military sites. They are advised to remain in secure locations whenever possible, follow the directives of local authorities, and stay informed about current events.
Ethiopian Airlines has temporarily suspended flights to and from the airports of Mekelle, Axum, and Shire, with no set date for the resumption of services. Israelis are encouraged to maintain contact with the airline and monitor its announcements for updates.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned of potential rapid changes in the security situation, disruptions to communication, and alterations in transportation accessibility. It specifically advised against intercity travel and attempting to leave Tigray independently without first ensuring the safety of the route.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it is continuously monitoring the situation and will update its recommendations as necessary.
