You can most likely go to Bethlehem, just double check that there are no problems before you go. Hebron...well, go at your own risk.
Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Dead Sea, Masada, Tiberias and Sea of Galilee, Eilat, etc. no problem. Terrorism is very unlikely to affect you at all. Only the precautions (security checks etc.) will affect you. |
Sure, there's troubles like in any conflictive area. There's risks everywhere, as if you go to South America. But the vast majority of the people are kind everywhere.
