ABR closely monitors the security situation in Israel and the Palestinian controlled territories. If there is reason for concern, we will take appropriate steps, including cancelling the winter dig. This is unlikely to occur. If it did, the ABR group would work on dig related projects at our headquarters and tour at strategic sites of interest.
