Washington is trying to make it easier for Americans to get flights out of Israel in the face of attacks from the terrorist group Hamas, the State Department said on Oct. 10.

“We have been in contact with a number of American citizens in Israel. There are a number ... who are longtime residents of Israel, some of whom are dual citizens, some of them who moved there,” said State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller during a press briefing.
