The United States and the United Kingdom have advised their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately amid fears of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah and a broader regional conflict.

The US Embassy in Lebanon said that even though some airlines have suspended operations in the country, flights are still available and citizens should book any flight available to leave the Middle Eastern nation.

Sweden was the first to shut down its embassy in Beirut fearing an escalation of hostilities. Yesterday, it urged its citizens to leave Lebanon.
