The US Embassy in Israel issued a warning to American citizens in Israel on Monday about possible rocket attacks on Israel. The warning comes mere days after former Quds Force commander Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US airstrike in Baghdad on Friday.
Titled "Heightened Middle East Tensions," the warning encourages US citizens in Israel to "remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness."

The warning informs Americans that if mortars or rockets are fired on Israel, the Red Alert system might be activated.
"Treat all alerts as real; follow the instructions from local authorities and seek shelter immediately," the message counseled.
The US Embassy stated that US government personnel and their families might be restricted from "traveling to areas affected by rocket activity."
The Embassy assured readers it would "continue to review the security situation and provide additional information as needed."
