France is urging its citizens to leave Lebanon. An update on the French foreign ministry's website warns of "the risks of military escalation in the Middle East" and advises people to book another commercial flight to France "as soon as possible" while flights are still available. The ministry also reiterated its "urgent" advice against travelling to Lebanon.
The United States and the United Kingdom had previously urged their citizens to leave Lebanon. This means that travel to the country is strongly discouraged.
