The US and UK Embassies in Beirut have urged citizens to leave Lebanon amid escalating border tensions between Israel and Hezbollah due to the Israel-Hamas war. The advisory comes as Hezbollah and Palestinian factions continue cross-border fire with Israel, leading to heightened security concerns. The US State Department raised its travel advisory for Lebanon to the highest level, emphasizing the unpredictable situation. Several countries, including France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, have also warned against travel to Lebanon. Demonstrations in Beirut against a Gaza hospital strike have further intensified the situation.
