Germany has urged its citizens to leave Lebanon amid escalating tensions in the region following a deadly strike on an Israel-occupied town that killed 12 children and teenagers. The German Foreign Office updated its travel warning for Lebanon, warning that air travel could be cut off and a further escalation of the conflict cannot be ruled out. The nation also issued travel warnings for Israel and Palestine. Israeli strikes continued to hit villages in southern Lebanon on Monday, causing casualties. Israel is contemplating its response to a rocket attack from Lebanon over the weekend, which resulted in the death of 12 children and teenagers in a town in Syria’s Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Monday’s strikes were not in direct response to the deadly weekend attack, but rather part of routine fighting. The violence in the region has been ongoing since October 8, with clashes between Israeli troops and the Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah. As tensions rise, Germany is urging its citizens to leave Lebanon to ensure their safety and to avoid potential dangers that may arise from further escalations in the conflict.
