Financial Times – Israel’s allies warn citizens to leave Lebanon as regional tension rise 

The Financial Times leads on the news that countries including the UK, US and Germany have told their citizens to leave Lebanon amid fears the war between Hamas and Israel could spill over into the country.

Shelling between northern Israel and southern Lebanon – a stronghold of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah – is rising, increasing fears of a conflict wider than just between Israel and Hamas. 

The paper says that the British embassy’s advice to its citizens in Lebanon is that the situation could deteriorate quickly and with no warning.
