US, Canada Warn Their Citizens That Rockets Could Strike ‘Israel’

By Staff, Agencies

The US Embassy in occupied al-Quds issued a security alert on Monday, warning its citizens of a possible missile attack on the ‘Israeli’-occupied territories.

“Heightened tension in the Middle East may result in security risks to US citizens abroad,” the embassy said in a press release. “Out of an abundance of caution, the Embassy strongly encourages US citizens to remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness, as security incidents, including rocket fire, often take place without warning.”

Two days prior, the Canadian Embassy in Tel Aviv issued a travel warning for the region, saying the “security situation could worsen with little warning.” It called on its citizens to “exercise caution.”

US intelligence is currently assessing whether Iran is preparing a retaliatory attack as a response to the assassination of IRGC Quds force commander martyr Qassem Soleimani. According to CNN, there are indications that Iran has ramped up the readiness of its short and medium range ballistic missile force in the country.
