The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has advised against using buses and light rail in Jerusalem following attacks on public transport in Israel.

In an update to its travel advice, the FCO said:  "Following a number of violent incidents on public transport and near public transport lines in Jerusalem, you should avoid using buses and light rail within Jerusalem.

"There have been violent incidents in Israel and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Old City, in recent weeks.

"There have been numerous stabbing, shooting, arson and stone throwing attacks on people and vehicles, as well as violent clashes between protestors and Israeli security forces.

"There’s a risk that tourists or bystanders could be caught up in any incident. You should be vigilant at all times."
