France, the US, and Britain have issued urgent warnings for foreign nationals to leave Lebanon due to escalating violence. The situation intensified after Hezbollah fired rockets at northern Israel in retaliation for high-profile Israeli killings, including Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. The Israeli military reported intercepting most of the 30 projectiles launched. The conflict, now nearly ten months old, has seen significant casualties on both sides. Western airlines have suspended flights, and the French foreign ministry has advised its citizens to exit Lebanon promptly due to the "highly volatile" security situation.
