Is travel in Israel unsafe?


Travel Info
Has anyone traveled as a tourist and by that I mean, without knowing or staying with a friend of family that lives in Israel, throughout Israel and Jordan. Or, if you do visit friends and family, then let me know what to expect. I want to travel this May/June.

Travel Tips
Travel in Israel is very safe. As a matter of fact, it is safer than traveling in most Western cities.

The "hotspots" you hear about on the news are mostly in the West Bank and Gaza Strip areas. Cities like Tel Aviv, Haifa, Cesarea and others are very safe to be in. Jerusalem is very safe and you'll have no problems there.

I would not venture into the "hotspots" mentioned, as they are not in Israel, but on the borders. There is alot of contention in those areas, and not a good idea to travel there. Anywhere else in the country is beautiful, and you will be treated very well.

Have a nice trip!

I actually have been in Israel and it is not unsafe. I think u r fine as long as u stay away from the hot spots i am actually going to travel myself in the beginning of March. I am going to Amman Jordan and then going to Jerusalem. I do have family their and they say it is safe to go so don't worry and I hope u have a good trip.
You just need to plan each destination, and research or ask an Israeli about it before you go, in other words dont just jump on a public bus and not knowing where your going and never get off in an unknown place. Yes there are dangerous areas but around Israelis your are as safe as any where else in the world or more.
Israel is indeed safe, except when the fanatical Arab terrorists choose to bombard it with rockets or missiles.

On the other hand, one would have to be insane to travel to Gaza, which has become a world center for Islamic terror, serving as a base for Hamas, Fatah, El Aksa Brigades, and lately even El Qaida. Now they have taken a respite from their attempts to wipe Israel off the map, and they are killing each other.

When Israel and the world realize that only a decisive victory of Israel over the Arabs who wish to destroy Israel--only then can there be peace and stability in the region.
first don't go to Gaza and stay away from the border cities but generally its pretty safe... its not as bad as the news show it
lived there
Its a war zone country.
