The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem on Saturday told all U.S. government employees to shelter in place until further notice, according to a security alert posted Saturday after Iran began launching drones and missiles at Israel.
"In response to security incidents and without advance notice, the U.S. Embassy may further restrict or prohibit U.S. government employees and their family members from traveling to certain areas of Israel (including the Old City of Jerusalem) and the West Bank," the statement said.
