The US Embassy in Lebanon warned on Monday that the situation in Israel is “unpredictable,” in light of the ongoing clashes between it and Palestinian factions since the beginning of this week.
The embassy said, in its account on the “X (formerly Twitter)” platform, that American citizens throughout the region should be careful, according to what was reported by the “Arab World News Agency.”
ABC News reported earlier today, citing informed sources, that at least four American citizens were killed as a result of the attacks taking place in Israel.
She added that administration officials informed Congress that this number may rise in the coming days, noting that the administration is also still investigating unconfirmed reports of American citizens being held hostage by the Hamas movement.
Palestinian factions launched a massive, sudden attack from Gaza on towns and residential communities in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip, at dawn last Saturday, resulting in the killing of more than 700 Israelis.
Israel responded by launching a military operation that killed 450 people in Gaza and the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
