Today around the world we pause to remember those who serve, or have served, Australia during times of war, conflict & in peacekeeping operations. Australians traditionally wear rosemary on #AnzacDay as a symbol of remembrance. #LestWeForget .

There have been reports of explosions across some locations in the Middle East. The security situation could deteriorate quickly, with little notice. There may also be airspace closures, flight cancellations, diversions and other travel disruptions. (1/2)

There’s an increased threat of military and terrorist attacks against Israel and Israeli interests. Ongoing military action in the Occupied Palestinian Territories could lead to increased tensions in other locations. [1/3]

Iran's escalation is a grave threat to the security of Israel and the entire region. It risks greater instability and devastation across the Middle East. Anyone who cares for the protection of innocent life must stand against these attacks.

Israeli military authorities have announced Iran has launched drones towards Israel. If you’re in Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories, monitor local media and public safety information updates through the National Emergency Portal (accessible in Israel only).

These destinations are currently 'Do not travel'. If, despite our advice, you travel to these locations, you're at a high risk of death, imprisonment, kidnapping or serious injury. If you're already in a level 4 destination, consider leaving if it's safe.

The increased threat of military and terrorist attacks against Israel and Israeli interests could lead to an increase in regional tensions. Localised security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Terrorist attacks can occur anywhere at any time. (1/3)

Australia is deeply concerned by indications Iran is preparing military action against Israel. Tonight I spoke to Iran’s Foreign Minister @Amirabdolahian to urge Iran to use its influence in the region to promote stability, not contribute to escalation.
