Chinese embassy urges nationals in Israel to take security precautions

The Chinese Embassy in Israel on Saturday issued a notice urging Chinese nationals in Israel to strengthen security precautions, avoid civilian infrastructure and relocate to safe areas in a timely manner.

The embassy noted that the security situation in the Middle East remains highly tense, with high risks of further escalation of hostilities that could threaten schools, power stations, industrial parks and other civilian facilities.

According to media reports, Israel's Port of Haifa, Rehovot railway station, Yarkon bridge, Jezreel Valley tunnel, as well as multiple highways connecting Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, may be targeted, it said.

The embassy urged Chinese citizens in Israel to take strict security measures and evacuate to safe zones, adding that they must keep away from key infrastructure such as airports, ports, power stations, train stations and refineries, as well as military‑sensitive sites, major universities, research institutions, factories and main transport routes.

All Chinese nationals should strictly follow security instructions issued by Israel's Home Front Command, and refrain from non‑essential outings, it said.

Upon receiving mobile alerts or air‑raid sirens, they must immediately enter bomb shelters to ensure personal safety, said the embassy, urging Chinese nationals to call local police and contact the embassy promptly in case of emergency.
