Global Rescue, a provider of medical, security, evacuation, and travel risk management services, is actively monitoring the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran and is providing direct support to travellers in the region.
“We are actively tracking the safety and security of member students, multinational tourists and business travellers in Israel and the region,” said Global Rescue Associate Director of Security Operations at Global Rescue Harding Bush. “Our security and intelligence operations teams are working to ensure the safety of our members as needed, but the situation is deteriorating rapidly and may escalate before stabilising.”
The conflict intensified as Israel launched large-scale airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites. In response, Iran launched more than 100 drones toward Israeli territory. The exchange marks one of the most severe escalations in Middle East hostilities in years, amid a long-running shadow war in which Israel has targeted Iranian proxies, and Iran has backed groups like Hamas.
The violence has placed residents, religious pilgrims, tourists, students, and business travellers at growing risk across the region. Global Rescue has activated emergency protocols and coordinates real-time support for members in and around affected areas. Services include intelligence alerts, emergency response planning, and, where needed, secure movement or evacuation assistance.
“We’re doing everything we can in a tough and evolving situation,” said Global Rescue CEO Dan Richards. “Our security operations teams are working to secure the safety of our members, but the situation remains fluid.”
Global Rescue will continue to monitor developments and stands ready to provide medical and security evacuations and crisis response for members impacted by the conflict.
