Saudi Arabia urges its citizens to leave Lebanon ‘immediately’

Saudi Arabia on August 4 called on its citizens to leave Lebanon without delay, as regional tensions soar following high-profile killings in Tehran and Beirut blamed on Israel amid the Gaza war.

The Saudi embassy in Beirut said in a statement posted on social media platform X that it was "following closely the developments in south Lebanon", near the border with Israel, and "reiterating its call for Saudi nationals to leave Lebanon's territory immediately".
