U.S. Embassy Issues Security Alert in Israel Amid Houthi-Saudi Fighting

The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem warned Americans in Israel that fighting between Iranian-backed Houthi forces and Saudi Arabia could disrupt regional travel, including flight cancellations and airspace closures. The embassy said U.S. diplomatic facilities have been targeted and cautioned that Iran or aligned groups may strike other American interests abroad, while noting that conditions could change rapidly. It urged travelers to check airline schedules and airport operations before departure. The embassy and its Tel Aviv branch said their consular sections remain open for routine and emergency services; the notice did not announce an Israeli airport closure or a new attack inside Israel.
