UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has advised all British nationals in Lebanon to leave immediately due to escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The Ministry of Defence has sent 700 troops to Cyprus to prepare for a possible evacuation. The UK government is ramping up contingency plans, given the rapidly deteriorating situation in Lebanon. Israeli airstrikes have killed over 560 people this week, with the conflict intensifying. The government has issued a strong warning, urging against all travel to Lebanon as the situation worsens and poses a growing threat to British citizens in the region.
