The State Department updated its travel advisory for Israel, asking U.S. citizens to avoid certain areas where conflict situations can intensify.

The agency is advising Americans against traveling to Northern Israel “within 2.5 miles of the Lebanese and Syrian borders due to the rising tensions between Hizballah and Israel,” a July 31 advisory states.
