Saudi Arabia urges citizens to leave Lebanon immediately

Gianluca Pacchiani is the Arab affairs reporter for The Times of Israel

Saudi Arabia joins the growing list of countries that have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon as soon as possible, in light of escalating tensions between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group.

In a statement issued yesterday, the Saudi embassy in Beirut says that it is closely monitoring developments in southern Lebanon, and urges its citizens to avoid traveling to the country, and for those already present, to leave the Lebanese territory immediately.

Last week, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada and Kuwait issued similar warnings.
