Jerusalem tells citizens to stay put amid cartel violence, flight disruptions and rising security risks after killing of Jalisco cartel kingpin.
Israel’s embassy in Mexico City has urged Israelis in several Mexican states to stay in their homes or hotels “until further notice” due to ongoing violence and transport disruptions.
In a Facebook message posted overnight Sunday Israel time, the embassy listed Jalisco—including Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara—Baja California, Quintana Roo and areas of Guanajuato, Guerrero, Michoacan, Oaxaca and Nuevo Leon, citing flight cancellations and suspended taxi and shuttle services.
The embassy advised Israelis to avoid nonessential travel, steer clear of areas with police or security activity, follow local media and authorities’ instructions, stay away from crowds and dial 911 in emergencies.
