“UK Government Urges Citizens to Evacuate Lebanon Amid Rising Tensions”

The British government is urging its citizens in Lebanon to leave the country immediately, as it has arranged additional flights for UK nationals seeking to depart. This call to action comes amid heightened tensions following the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the militant group Hezbollah. For several months, the Foreign Office has been advising British nationals to exit Lebanon, but the recent escalation in violence has prompted renewed appeals for citizens to secure their places on flights as soon as possible. The government is emphasizing the urgency of the situation and encouraging all UK nationals in Lebanon to register their presence for assistance.
