Foreign Office Warns of Potential Spillover from Hamas Conflict
As protests erupted in Lebanon in response to the ongoing war in Israel, the Foreign Office issued a warning to British citizens to leave the country immediately. Demonstrators clashed with police and set fire to the US embassy in Beirut following the Gaza hospital blast. The Foreign Office expressed concern that the conflict involving Hamas may spread to Lebanon, especially due to the presence of Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah along the country's border with Northern Israel.
Foreign Office Advisory: "Leave Now While You Can"
The Foreign Office advised against all travel to Lebanon and urged those currently in the country to leave as soon as possible while commercial options are still available. The situation remains volatile, and the safety and well-being of British citizens are of utmost importance.
Protests at US Embassy in Beirut
Amidst the ongoing conflict, hundreds of protesters set fire to a guard tower at the US Embassy in Beirut. The demonstration was triggered by a call from Hezbollah for protests at Israeli embassies across the Arab world, which they dubbed a "day of rage." Protesters carrying Palestinian flags gathered outside the embassy, engaging in scuffles with Lebanese security forces and throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails. The guard tower was ultimately set ablaze.
In these uncertain times, it is crucial for British citizens to stay informed and prioritize their safety. The situation in the Middle East continues to evolve, and it is important to follow the guidance of the Foreign Office. Stay updated on travel advisories and take necessary precautions when traveling to or residing in regions affected by conflict.
