Turkey Urges Citizens To Depart Lebanon Amid Rising Tensions

Turkey has issued a strong travel warning advising its citizens to exit Lebanon and avoid visiting the country due to escalating regional tensions.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry announced on Sunday that the security landscape in Lebanon is increasingly unstable, with potential for rapid deterioration.

The ministry cautioned that recent regional developments have increased risks to personal safety and advised limiting travel to Lebanon to essential purposes only.

Turkish nationals currently in Lebanon are advised to remain vigilant and avoid non-essential travel to high-risk areas, including Nabatieh, South Lebanon, Bekaa, and Baalbek-Hermel provinces.

The ministry further suggested that those able to leave should do so while commercial flights remain operational.

This advisory follows a surge in conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.

Tensions have escalated after Hezbollah allegedly targeted a football match in Majdal Shams, situated in the occupied Golan Heights, resulting in multiple casualties.

In retaliation, Israel conducted missile strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, which led to the death of Hezbollah’s top military leader, Fouad Shokor, along with several civilians.

Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has threatened a severe and strategic counterattack, heightening fears of further violence.
