How safe is Israel?

Tel Aviv-Yafo
It really depends on the neighborhood since it's a big city, but I believe most of it is safe. I hang out there a lot and I rarely experienced anything bad,only maybe in the area of the central station, which is old and is known for its reputation with many addicts around

Well as far as I found it haven’t experienced any, attack, assault or abuse . For a long time I’m visiting and staying there. It’s really calm , and peaceful and most people I met were super loving and nice! Really friendly!!

Tel aviv is pretty safe *not south Tel aviv The only reason Tell aviv is not very safe right now it’s because terror (israel is in a war right now) Tel aviv have nightlife so it’s not very dangerous to walk around but keep your eyes open

Very calm town with lots of different people, chill environment, nice people and good security services. You can walk at night aroung and you will meet nice people, at the main streets the are always people around. Many spots for artists!

A very safe small city, very quiet and very very low crime rate. I feel safe 24/7, not worried at all, everyone knows each other, but there is not much to do in this city as it is very small. to summarize, safe but nothing to do here.

Safe in most of the country Talk to me and I will give you tips for specific places. In the north there is no problem at all. In the main cities also, but like every dense city you need to pay attention to your stuff and look if people look strange so don’t communicate with them.

It is considered save but in the last couple of years the murder rate is high, for people from the lgbtq community i think is better not to visit, i didn’t see personally any attackson them and i think it is just bc they do not come here i know i how they think about it and i recommend u not to come and if u came hide your identity, otger than this i think it is safe

Ganei tikva is considered a very safe town to live in. We are located in the center of Israel and as a small town in this social economic area, the crime rates here are extremely low. But- this is still Israel, and although there aren’t Arabs in our town, if there are rockets from Gaza/lebanon/yemen, there is an alarm. But overall-it’s very safe

Tel Aviv can be scary, especially after dark and mostly in the south of Tel aviv. In the north it's fairly safe and there is nothing to worry about. But in the south things can get a bit scarier. I haven't experienced anything too worrying other than catcalls and the occasional follower, so carry some pepper spray and explore Tel Aviv!

Like every other big city anything is possible, but Tel Aviv is a homy Place with amazing people, lots of attractions but also with a lot of neglected places with stranger faces. As much as there are people that seem strange and you might fear, there are even more big hearted people who might help, reach out and always be there for you. Israel is a place of survival all together, so we locals are more than aware of our environment all the time and anywhere.

I took my mom to Israel in June and we just spent some time with my friends there. We felt safe and people are amazing there. It’s my forth times to go to Ein Gedi and my mom’s first time. There are too many places worthy to explore especially some hidden gems brooks where only locals know. Don’t miss out the warm hummus, fresh fruits, and Arabic coffee in Damascus gate (First shop at entrance of the right ally)

I went in 2016, so I felt relatively safe. It was with a large, organized group, so there were other people around at all times. We stayed in a hotel and then mostly explored the city on foot. This city is truly unique and I will never forget my visit. There is so much to explore and admire, the three days we stayed felt insufficient. I would absolutely recommend you visit.
