***Statement: Northern Israel Resorts***

17 July 2006

Following the attacks on Northern Israel over the last few days, we are pleased to confirm that no hotels featured in the Longwood Holidays programme have been affected. No customers travelling with us, or Longwood Holidays staff, have been affected.

The FCO has updated its advice to travellers to recommend against all but essential travel to any areas of Northern Israel within 75km of the Lebanese border, including Haifa and Tiberias. We are therefore not operating holidays to Haifa, Tiberias and Safed until further notice.

Other resorts featured in our programme ar not affected, and holidays to these will continue as normal.

If you are travelling to Israel and have queries about your holiday, please contact our administration team on 020 8418 2530.
