(Lebanon, NH – October 1, 2024) Iran launched nearly 200 missiles towards Israel today with at least some striking Israeli territory, according to reports. Iran’s bombardment targeting Israelis threatened the lives of residents, religious pilgrims, business travelers and tourists from the U.S. and other countries.

“We are actively tracking the safety and security of U.S. students, and multi-national tourists and business travelers in Israel and the region. Our security operations teams are working to ensure the safety of our members as needed but the situation is deteriorating rapidly and will likely escalate before stabilizing,” said Harding Bush, former Navy SEAL and director of security operations for Global Rescue.

The attack is the second by Iran this year and comes nearly a year after the Hamas attack on Israel Oct. 7, 2023 when Global Rescue’s security operations teams successfully helped nearly a hundred members to safety.

“We’ve seen a spike in traveler purchases of security services since the attacks last year,” said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies, the world’s leading provider of medical, security, evacuation and travel risk management services, and a member of the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board at the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Global Rescue, the world’s leading medical and security evacuation and travel risk company, is orchestrating operations to bring members and others to safety.
