CONCERNS GROW OVER ESCALATION OF CONFLICT IN THE REGION
Concerns over the escalation of conflict in the region are growing following the intensification of clashes between Israel and Hezbollah on the Lebanon-Israel border, which have been ongoing since October 8, 2023, and Israel's recent announcement that it has "approved operational plans for a major offensive" against Lebanon.
Previously, the US, Russia, North Macedonia, Canada, Kuwait, Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands had issued travel advisories to their citizens, including calls to leave Lebanon.
