The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Israel has called on Uzbek citizens in the country to exercise heightened caution. The embassy advised compatriots to avoid crowded places, refrain from visiting certain areas unless necessary, strictly follow local authorities' instructions, and maintain contact with relatives. It is also important to carry identification documents.

The appeal comes amid a deteriorating security situation in the region. Specifically, the U.S. State Department has allowed some staff and family members of the American embassy to leave Israel. They are advised to depart while commercial flights are available.

According to The New York Times, emergency measures may be linked to preparations for a possible military strike on Iran, which could lead to a sharp escalation of the conflict.
