Saudi Arabia urges citizens to leave Lebanon immediately
The Saudi Embassy in Beirut said in a statement Friday that the decision is related to the “repercussions of the current events” taking place in Lebanon.
The embassy added that Saudi Arabia’s travel ban to Lebanon has been in place for years.
Israel has moved thousands of troops across the border into Lebanon, and Israeli forces and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants have been fighting on the ground for at least three weeks.
