Dear john,Like so many of you, I was horrified by the terrorist attack against Israel this past weekend and condemn Hamas’ violence in the strongest possible terms.My thoughts continue to be with the victims whose lives were tragically and unnecessarily cut short, their families, and the Israeli and Palestinian civilians impacted.As we continue to monitor the situation, I wanted to reach out with some important resources.The Department of State has a 24/7 coordinating group communicating with U.S. citizens and providing them assistance through phone calls and an online form. U.S. citizens seeking to be in touch with the U.S. Embassy in Israel can fill out this form or call 1-833-890-9595 or 1-606-641-0131.For the latest updates, you can monitor the messages to U.S. citizens from the U.S. Embassy in Israel here.Any remaining U.S. citizens in Israel should immediately enroll their contact information in the State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program here.Finally, the State Department will be posting any additional updates to our travel advisory for Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza as they are issued here.I encourage you to share these resources with any and all that may need them.
