UK and Singapore Issue Urgent Travel Warnings for Citizens in Lebanon Amid Escalating Conflict

ai generated text

Multiple countries have issued warnings to their citizens in Lebanon due to escalating tensions. The UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged British citizens to leave the country immediately, with the UK deploying approximately 700 troops to Cyprus as a precautionary measure. Singapore's government has also advised its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately via commercial options and to avoid travel to southern Beirut and southern Lebanon, including the border with Israel. The Israeli government has claimed to have killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, following a series of massive explosions that have levelled multiple apartment buildings in Beirut.

    1. We continue to urge all sides to step back from conflict to prevent further tragic loss of life. Our government is ensuring all preparations are in place to support British nationals should the situation deteriorate. I want to thank the British personnel deployed in the region for their commitment and professionalism.
    2. Events in the past hours and days have demonstrated how volatile this situation is, which is why our message is clear, British nationals should leave now.
    3. We're watching this really carefully. That will be a matter for the Israelis. At the moment, it's airstrikes. At the moment, there are missiles from the Lebanese Hezbollah directed at Israel. This conflict serves no one.
