US embassy in Tel Aviv closed Tuesday
In another security alert, the State Department said the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv would be closed again on Tuesday.
"In compliance with Israel Home Front Command guidance, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem will be closed Tuesday, June 17. This includes the Consular Sections in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv," the alert reads. "The U.S. Embassy is not in a position at this time to evacuate or directly assist Americans in departing Israel."

Additionally, a U.S. official said that the State Department's task force on Middle East evacuations held a meeting Monday where potential plans to facilitate the departures of Americans from Israel were discussed at length. However, there are no indications at this point that any action is imminent.
