I will answer your question - go. What is shown on TV here does not correspond to reality. On Israeli TV, nothing is said about this (about the situation with Syria). Communicate with the Israelis constantly.

All work. Nobody is waiting for gas masks in the queue. From 4 to 6 September in Israel, the New Year (Rosh-ha-Shana). Everyone rests.

Aircraft to Tel Aviv and Ovda fly on schedule. No one has canceled the flights.

Israel annually spends more money than any other country to ensure the security of its citizens and tourists. In Israel, I feel more secure than in Moscow.

For my years of experience working with Israel, I will give you a couple of examples.

From October 2000 to 2004 there was a crisis time for Israel, there were few tourists, there were constant tourists . On TV, they showed news that there was a war in Israel. I had to go to the conference at the invitation of the Ministry of Tourism of Israel. With me flew tourists who really wanted to Israel, but were afraid. And when the plane was landing, they looked out the window. Trees are green, life goes on as usual. It was February. And I told them: Where do you see the war?

Another case was later - 2006 or 2007. On TV show news about the Gaza Strip. But it was a conflict in the Gaza Strip. Tourists went to the Dead Sea. A couple of days they call from the agency. They are disturbed from the place of work of the tourist. It turns out that their boss usually calls, if he leaves somewhere to rest. And then two days passed, and he did not call. Something happened ... I'm communicating with partners, we find a tourist in the hotel. He says: "I enjoy the silence. My hotel room is so-so. Let them call. " And there are many such examples.

I am called by the agency if they hear some negative news about Israel. I explain to them what really happened. Tourists go and return satisfied after their vacation in Israel
