The British government has urged all UK citizens currently in Lebanon to leave the country due to escalating regional tensions. The Foreign Office emphasized the importance of safety and advised citizens to make arrangements to exit as soon as possible.
In preparation for a potential evacuation, the UK is set to deploy 700 soldiers to Cyprus. The deployment is intended to support any necessary evacuation efforts, using Cyprus as a strategic base for operations.
The situation continues to develop, and further updates from the government are expected. (Source: BBC)
