The United States Embassy in Beirut has raised its travel advisory in Lebanon to 4 - meaning not to travel to Lebanon, on Saturday.
The embassy also noted that several airlines have suspended, booked up, or canceled flights to the country.
The announcement comes after tensions have risen between the Hezbollah terrorist group based in the country and its southern neighbor Israel after the former murdered 12 Druze children last week in Majdal Shams, with Israel responding by eliminating a Hezbollah top official Fuad Shukr.
UK also issues statement to avoid traveling to the country
Shortly after the American announcement, the British Embassy in Beirut also issued a statement advising against any travel to Lebanon and that "British nationals in the country should register their presence" with the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for further information.
"You should all leave while commercial flights remain available," the embassy said.
Later on Saturday, the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement warning its citizens not to travel to Lebanon and calling on those who are currently in the country to leave it.
This is a developing story.
