In an unusual move, the US State Department on Friday called on American citizens to avoid Jerusalem's Old City during the week of Succot, warning citizens of increased violence, crime and heavy traffic.
"Although it is a good idea to avoid the Old City for the entire week," the warning reads, stressing that "Monday, October 5, is expected to draw the largest crowds due to the annual pilgrimage by Jewish worshipers who will assemble at the Western Wall for special prayers."
