Travel advisory for Lebanon

In response to escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, the Indian government has advised its nationals to leave Lebanon immediately and avoid travel to the country until further notice. This advisory follows Israel's targeted strike that killed Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukur, who was implicated in an attack that resulted in casualties. Concurrently, Israel's National Security Council has warned its citizens abroad to exercise extreme caution, citing potential retaliatory attacks from Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas in response to recent assassinations of their leaders. The NSC specifically cautions against displaying Jewish or Israeli identities and recommends avoiding travel to regions deemed high-risk, including enemy nations. Israeli citizens are also advised to reconsider their travel plans and remain vigilant in public settings to mitigate threats. These advisories reflect a broader atmosphere of heightened security concerns amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region.
