Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have escalated following a deadly rocket strike that killed 12 children in the Golan Heights, leading various nations, including Australia, the UK, Germany, France, and the US, to issue urgent travel warnings advising their citizens to leave Lebanon. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese warned that the violence in the Middle East could become 'far more savage,' urging Australians to utilize commercial flights to exit Lebanon while they still can. In a coordinated diplomatic effort, Western governments are attempting to prevent an Israeli offensive in Beirut, fearing a significant escalation of conflict. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy described the situation as 'fast-moving' and emphasized the need for British nationals to evacuate. The US has warned its citizens in Lebanon to prepare a crisis exit plan, highlighting the risks of being caught in a volatile environment. Airlines have begun canceling flights to and from Beirut amid this deteriorating security situation, complicating evacuation efforts.
