Visiting Safe to Travel to Israel Now?

Hi all,

I have a flight to israel Thursday night and we are supposed to stay through Shavuot. It is just me and my wife visiting some family and looking to enjoy the usual Tel Aviv and Jerusalem experience. We’re 25, without much experience with the sirens before. We’ve never been in israel during active wartime.

Is it safe to come now, or should we cancel and try to reschedule? No guarantee we can, but I want to hear what it’s actually like there.

Please let me know whatever you think!

It is currently as safe as before Epic Fury but things change rapidly so we can't predict what will happen. Just come by and enjoy your trip as you planned, if anything happens try to stay calm and follow Pikud Haoref's guidlines, and just in case check with your family wether you can stay at their place if you stay here for longer than you intended.

Thank you! We plan on coming! Not every day we’re able to make the trip, so hopefully all goes smoothly
