Saudi Arabia Urges Its Citizens To Quickly Leave Lebanon
(MENAFN- AzerNews) Saudi Arabia called on its citizens to quickly leave Lebanese
territory and to avoid approaching areas where there have been
armed clashes, the Saudi embassy in Lebanon said in a statement
posted late on Friday on X, formerly known as Twitter, Azernews reports.
The kingdom did not specify which areas in Lebanon that it was
advising its citizens to avoid.
The embassy stressed "the importance of adhering to the Saudi
travel ban to Lebanon," the statement added.
Kuwait also issued an advisory early on Saturday calling on
Kuwaitis in Lebanon to stay vigilant and avoid "areas of security
disturbances" but stopped short of asking them to leave the
country, according to a statement by the Kuwaiti Foreign ministry
posted on X.
On Aug. 1, the United Kingdom also updated its travel advice for
Lebanon, advising against "all but essential travel" to parts of
Lebanon's south near the Palestinian camp of Ain el-Hilweh.
At least 13 people, most of them militants, were killed in
fighting that broke out in the camp on July 29 between mainstream
faction Fatah and hardline Islamists, security sources in the camp
said.
