Australia Issues 'Do Not Travel' Warning for Israel Amid Rising Tensions

The Australian government has sanctioned five Iranians linked to missile programs following Iran's missile attacks on Israel.

The Australian government has updated its travel advice to the highest level, advising citizens not to travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories due to escalating conflict.
Australians currently in Israel are urged to leave while commercial flights are available, as the security situation is volatile and could deteriorate rapidly.
The federal government has imposed financial sanctions and travel bans on five Iranian officials connected to the country's missile program, aligning with similar measures by the US and UK.
Iran's recent missile launch against Israel and its provision of ballistic missiles to Russia have been cited as destabilizing actions in the region.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton supports the sanctions but suggests that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps should also be classified as a terror organization.
