As the world knows, Hamas has attacked Israel in one the worst attacks against that country since the Yom Kippur War.

What to do if you have relatives in Israel?

From the US Embassy:

U.S. citizens in Israel who have family members missing in the Gaza periphery can go to the Israel National Police’s combined assistance center at 4 HaNegev Street in Airport City.  Additional information can be found here: https://www.gov.il/he/departments/news/police_08-10-23_family-center (Hebrew only at this time).

U.S. citizens in Israel who need assistance should also contact the closest U.S. embassy or consulate using this crisis intake form.
