Mounting tensions and violence in Israel

Travellers should be aware of mounting tensions and violence in the occupied Palestinian territories. Thousands have protested this weekend over the shooting of a 22-year-old Arab Israeli on Friday. In Arab cities and towns, the Palestinian community called a 24-hour general strike that shut down businesses and schools on Sunday. The Israeli police have increased the state of alert.
