The U.S. Department of State increased its travel advisory to “Level 3,” which urges American citizens to “reconsider travel” to Israel after Hamas attacks that started over the past weekend.

In a bulletin Wednesday, the agency said the upgraded advisory applies to Israel and the West Bank region. A travel advisory for Gaza still remains at Level 4, or “Do Not Travel.”
