SINGAPORE — Singaporeans should avoid all travel to the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Israel’s borders with the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said on Sunday (Oct 8).
Singaporeans are also advised to avoid all non-essential travel to Israel in view of the ongoing conflict, said the ministry in a travel advisory, noting that there has been ongoing rocket fire between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is “at war” and ordered an extensive mobilisation of army reserves. In its advisory, MFA said Singaporeans travelling to or residing in Israel and the Palestinian Territories should remain vigilant and monitor local developments closely. All necessary precautions for personal safety should be taken, including purchasing comprehensive travel and medical insurance, added the ministry.
