OTTAWA — Canadians are being told to avoid all travel to ****** and the West Bank because of the “unpredictable security situation” in the region.

Global Affairs Canada says there is a heightened risk of ******* on Israeli territory, while tensions and ******** are high in the West Bank.

Palestinian health officials say a Palestinian man was ****** and 25 others were hurt today after dozens of angry Israeli settlers stormed into a village in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, ******** and setting houses and cars on ****.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says the regional security situation remains highly volatile and could escalate without notice.

She says Canadians should consider leaving the area by commercial means.

The updated travel guidance comes less than two weeks after seven aid workers with the ***** Central Kitchen, including a dual Canadian-American citizen, were ****** when an Israeli ********* hit their convoy while they were delivering food in the **** Strip.
