Israel's National Security Council has raised travel warnings for Egypt (including Sinai) and Jordan to level 4, advising citizens to leave these countries immediately due to escalating tensions in the wake of the Gaza conflict. This move follows widespread protests in the Middle East against Israel's actions in Gaza. The advisory coincides with Israel recalling diplomats from Turkey for security reasons. The conflict originated with Hamas incursions into Israel, resulting in the capture of hostages and the tragic deaths of over 1,400 people, primarily civilians, according to Israeli sources. Israel's intensified response in Gaza has claimed 4,137 Palestinian lives, mainly civilians, states the Hamas-run health ministry.
