The U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory world wide warning American citizens overseas to exercise increased caution.

The travel advisory cited “increased tensions in various locations around the world, the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests.”

The State Department suggested U.S. citizens should stay alert in locations popular with tourists and sign up for the ‘Smart Traveler Enrollment Program’, which can provide information and make it easier to locate them in an emergency.

A spokesperson for the department shared that the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas is a top priority. The warning comes as thousands have been killed in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
