U.S. citizens who wish to leave and can do so safely are advised to monitor border crossings to ensure they are open and to verify flights have not been canceled before heading to the airport, as many major airlines have suspended service. U.S. citizens in Gaza who wish to leave are specifically encouraged to check the Rafah Crossing into Egypt.
