British FM calls on UK citizens in Lebanon to ‘leave now’

LONDON — The UK government urges its citizens in Lebanon to leave the country immediately, amid fears of all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah and a broader regional conflict.

“Tensions are high, and the situation could deteriorate rapidly,” UK Foreign Minister David Lammy says in a statement. “While we are working round the clock to strengthen our consular presence in Lebanon, my message to British nationals there is clear –- leave now.”
