In a Facebook post on Thursday, OFWs were reminded to avoid several areas until Jan. 28.

These include the West Bank, areas in Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and borders of Lebanon and Gala.

Citing the Palestinian Ministry Head, CNN International reported that Israeli forces killed 10 and wounded several Palestinians in a refugee camp in the West Bank of Jenin on Thursday.

According to the Israeli security forces, the raid was conducted to apprehend a “terror squad belonging to the Islamic Jihad terror organization,” which resulted in the killing of three “terrorists.”

The Philippine Embassy in Israel advised OFWs to avoid Israeli security forces in the conflict areas and to avoid taking any recordings.

It also posted emergency hotlines should OFWs need help.
