Yes, you have done your home work, jizan area is troubled area as of now and most of the big projects have been stalled there cuz of the problems in the vicinity but how bad is the situation, I really can't comment on that.

It would be advisable to get in touch with the HR of your employer and find out the details. I'm sure they won't let you work in an unsafe environment.
Cheers !!
