- Germany has not issued a blanket travel warning for Israel but strongly advises against travel to the Gaza-Envelope and northern Israel and discourages non-essential trips to other areas including East Jerusalem.
- In Lebanon, the embassy warned that flight restrictions could occur at any time and urged Germans to follow safety advisories and stock food, water, and fuel.
- EASA cautioned on February 12 that a US intervention could prompt retaliatory actions affecting neighboring airspace, with possible knock-on disruptions to routes through countries such as Turkey, Egypt, or the UAE.
