Israel: Heightened security likely after suspected ballistic missile targeting Tel Aviv early Dec. 21
Tight security likely after alleged ballistic missile strike in Tel Aviv early Dec. 21. Injuries reported. Heed official directives.
Authorities are responding to a suspected ballistic missile strike from Yemen targeting Tel Aviv as of early Dec. 21. Initial reports suggest at at least one projectile landing in the Jaffa area, resulting in at least five injuries.
Heightened security and localized business and transport disruptions are likely in the affected area. Further cross-border violence is likely over the coming hours and days.
Avoid the vicinity of any impact sites until authorities give the all-clear and vacate the area. Monitor local media and abide by security forces' directives. If incoming mortar rounds or rockets are reported or warning sirens sound in the general vicinity, report to the nearest bomb shelter and await further instructions from authorities. If there is no shelter nearby, stay indoors and away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, move to a ground floor or basement. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation. Consider avoiding nonessential travel to Israel until the situation stabilizes.
