The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is advising government employees and their families to shelter in place during Iran’s retaliatory strikes.

“As a result of the current security situation and ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, the U.S. Embassy has directed that all U.S. government employees and their family members continue to shelter in place until further notice,” the embassy wrote on its website and X on Sunday.

“Given the proximity of missile and debris impacts, the U.S. Embassy has offered employees living near the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv the option to voluntarily relocate to new accommodations further away,” the post also said.
