The State of Israel is located in the Middle East between Egypt and Lebanon and on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Israel also borders Syria, Jordan and the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. The population is approximately 7.5 million people.
The government of Israel is a parliamentary democracy. A president is chief of state elected by the Knesset and has mainly a ceremonial role. A prime minister is head of government.
Although the area was an ancient Hebrew kingdom and the birthplace of Christianity, Israel has been a country only since 1948. Since that time, Israel has fought a series of wars with neighbouring Arab states and has occupied territories, including the West Bank, Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights. Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, however, there has been only limited success resolving border disputes.
Israel is a developed country with a technologically advanced economy. The main financial center is Tel Aviv, and the main industrial center is Haifa. Israel is a major destination for travellers since the land has great religious importance and is considered holy. Although continually under threat of violence, Israel has such rigid security that travel is relatively safe.

Israel中的安全性
人身安全
On 7 October, Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups launched a massive assault on Israel by firing a barrage of rockets from Gaza. Hamas cited tensions regarding the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the expansion of Jewish settlements as the reasons for the attack. They have named this attack as “Operation al-Aqsa Flood”. Militants infiltrated Israeli territory, attacking military installations and civilians, and taking many as hostages. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched airstrikes in Gaza in response and dubbed their counteroffensive as “Operation Iron Swords”. This attack occurred during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah on Shabbat, one day after the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Yom Kippur War, which also started with a surprise attack. The armed conflicts are still ongoing. On 8 October, there were clashes reported near the Israel-Lebanon border involving the IDF and Lebanese armed groups. It is likely that further escalation will occur in this area. Major international airlines have temporarily suspended flights to and from Israel due to the security situation in the country. Border areas with Israel are particularly dangerous and heavily guarded. Land borders with Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria may be closed. Many countries have advised their citizens to avoid non-essential travel to high-risk areas in Israel. Foreign nationals in Israel in need of emergency evacuation and assistance should contact their respective embassies.
極端暴力
The threat of terrorism is high in Israel. Terrorist incidents have occurred in a variety of locations in major populated centers (including Tel Aviv, Eilat, Haifa, Beersheba, Netanya, and others), causing death and injuries. Incidents could be unpredictable and there is a strong risk that foreigners, although not directly targeted, could end up in the middle of highly dangerous situations. Travellers visiting urban areas should exercise caution, stay informed of the present security situation, monitor local news reports and follow the advice of local authorities, especially during periods of religious holidays, such as Rosh Hashanah, Ramadan and Pesach (Passover).
政治動盪
Large political gatherings and demonstrations occur frequently and should be avoided as they can become violent. Travellers should obey government checkpoints, which may be set up without warning.
應避免的區域
Travellers are strongly advised to completely avoid travel to all regions surrounding the Gaza Strip and of the West Bank due to civil unrest, violence, the risk of rocket and mortar launches, gunfire and of ongoing military activity. The security situation is highly unpredictable and dangerous. There is a continuing threat to any traveller present in these areas of being caught in the crossfire of violence, as well as of being kidnapped. If it is absolutely necessary to go to these regions, travellers are recommended to exercise extreme caution at all times, monitor news reports and follow the advice of local authorities. Passports should be carried at all times and alternative travel arrangements should be ready in case of rapid deterioration in the security situation. Land borders with Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria may be closed. Many countries advised their citizens to avoid non-essential travel to high-risk localities in Israel.
