Saudi Arabia urged its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Saturday.
The call from the Saudi embassy in Lebanon comes following “ the developments of the current events in southern Lebanon, and confirms its previous call to all Saudi citizens to abide by the travel ban to Lebanon,” a statement on SPA said.
n Wednesday, Germany also urged its citizens to leave Lebanon as soon as possible due to the risk of escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel and Hezbollah, an Iran-backed ally of Hamas in Lebanon, have traded near-daily cross-border fire since the Palestinian militant group’s October 7 attack on Israel sparked the war in the Gaza Strip.
Tensions have been rising in recent days with growing exchanges of fire.
