The U.S. embassy has issued a security alert in the region.
LONDON — Rockets have been fired from Gaza “across southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the infiltration of Hamas militants,” according to the U.S. embassy.
In a statement issued early Saturday morning, the embassy said that it is “closely monitoring” the security situation after an unknown number of rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel in a surprise attack.
“The U.S. Embassy is aware that there have been casualties as a result of these incidents. U.S. citizens are reminded to remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness as security incidents, including mortar and rocket fire, often take place without warning,” the embassy said in the statement announcing the security alert.
U.S. Embassy personnel are currently sheltering in place.
