Germany urges citizens to leave Lebanon swiftly

Berlin, Germany: Germany on Wednesday urged its citizens to leave Lebanon quickly, warning that an expansion of the Israel-Hamas war could not be ruled out after a drone strike in Beirut killed a senior Hamas leader.

'All German citizens, who are still in Lebanon, are asked to register on the ELEFAND crisis preparedness list and to leave the country as quickly as possible,' wrote the German foreign ministry on X, formerly known as Twitter.
