China updates travel risk levels for Israel, citing security concerns

ISTANBUL

The Chinese Embassy in Israel has updated security risk classifications across several regions of the country, designating certain zones as red (extremely high risk) and others as orange (high risk).

The areas marked as red zones include regions north of Nahariva and Safed, north and east of the Sea of Galilee, south of Ashkelon and west of Netivot, the Global Times reported.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is urging Chinese nationals to refrain from traveling to these regions for now. Those currently in the affected areas are advised to leave or move to safer locations without delay.

In emergencies, individuals should promptly reach out to local authorities and the Chinese Embassy in Israel.

The embassy noted that the remaining parts of Israel are designated as orange zones.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urges Chinese citizens to stay cautious, monitor developments closely, bolster security precautions and be ready for emergencies. In case of urgent need, they should contact local police and the Chinese Embassy.
