Germany has urged its citizens to leave Lebanon due to 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 and stated that air travel could be cut off, potentially leaving citizens stranded. They also issued travel warnings for Israel and Palestine. Israeli strikes continued to hit villages in southern Lebanon on Monday, with two people killed and three injured in one town. Israel is considering its response to the rocket attack from Lebanon that killed 12 children and teenagers in the Golan Heights. Despite Monday’s strikes not being a direct response to the weekend attack, violence has been ongoing between Israeli troops and Hezbollah since October 8. The situation remains tense and could escalate further, leading to a complete suspension of air traffic in the region, making it difficult for citizens to leave if needed. Germany’s urging of its citizens to vacate Lebanon underscores the seriousness of the situation and the potential for further conflict in the region.
