The United States has updated its travel advisory for Israel, citing a growing threat from Iranian-backed Houthi militant group attacks. The update specifically warns of potential escalation by the Houthis in coming weeks.

Israel remains at Level 3 on the US travel advisory scale, while designated border areas maintain Level 4 restrictions. The upgraded warning reflects US assessment of increased security risks from the Yemen-based rebel group, which has conducted multiple missile and drone strikes against Israeli territory in recent months.

The advisory update reflects broader regional tensions and the ongoing threat posed by Iran-aligned militant groups to civilian and military targets in Israel.
