The U.S. Department of State has issued a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory for Syria, citing increased risks of terrorism, civil unrest, and wrongful detention. With the upcoming Eid al-Fitr holiday, there's a heightened threat of attacks targeting embassies, international organizations, and public institutions in Damascus. The U.S. government urges its citizens to depart Syria immediately and remains unable to provide consular services, as the U.S. Embassy in Damascus has been closed since 2012. For emergency assistance, U.S. nationals should contact the U.S. Interests Section at the Czech Embassy in Damascus. (PC: India Today & Spiegel)
