Aug. 4 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Canadian government on Saturday warned its citizens to avoid “all travel” to Israel, given the growing risk that the armed conflict in the Middle East will escalate, especially after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran on Wednesday, which is blamed on the Hebrew state.
“We have changed the risk level for Israel to ‘Avoid all travel’,” the Canadian government announced on social media platform X, warning that “the security situation could deteriorate further without warning” in the region.
In a travel advisory, Canadian authorities have warned their citizens of the difficulties in leaving Israeli territory if the armed conflict escalates: “It may result in travel disruptions, including closure of airspace and cancellation and diversion of flights.”
Canadian citizens who wish to remain in Israel will be able to receive information via an “alert app” provided by their government, which advises them to follow “the instructions of local authorities.”
The warning comes after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed “harsh punishment” for Israel over the killing of Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday by a missile launched from outside the country.
