UK Urges Britons to Leave Lebanon Amid Escalating Conflict

Foreign Secretary David Lammy warns of limited evacuation options as Israel intensifies ground operations against Hezbollah.

British nationals in Lebanon have been advised to leave immediately via commercial flights or a UK-chartered plane due to depart on Wednesday.
The situation in Lebanon has become increasingly dangerous following Israel's ground invasion targeting Hezbollah militants.
Approximately 4,000 to 6,000 Britons are in Lebanon, with many expressing frustration over poor communication from the UK government regarding evacuation plans.
The UK has deployed troops to Cyprus to assist in potential emergency evacuations if the situation worsens.
Foreign Secretary Lammy has called for immediate ceasefires in both Lebanon and Gaza to prevent further regional escalation.
