The risk of a full-scale war between the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah and Israel has prompted several countries to urge travelers to leave Lebanon. The escalation is taking place in the light of the Gaza War and the killing of Hamas' political leader Ismail Haniya in Iran's capital Tehran last week.

France is now calling its citizens back home.

"Due to the tense and unpredictable security situation, we are once again urging French citizens to leave Lebanon as soon as possible," the Foreign Ministry's new travel advisory states.

Saudi Arabia is also urging its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately, writes the Saudi embassy in Beirut on X.

Sweden is also advising against travel to the region and urging travelers to leave Lebanon.

Denmark announced earlier in the weekend that the country will keep its embassy in Beirut open, but is urging its citizens to leave the area.
