The Sri Lankan Embassy in Lebanon has requested Sri Lankan nationals in the country to exercise caution and remain vigilant due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
Issuing a statement, the Sri Lankan Embassy in Lebanon issued guidelines to be adhered to by Sri Lankans residing in Lebanon due to the current situation.
As such, Sri Lankans have been requested to avoid crowded places and events, and travel during the night.
Sri Lankans have been requested to keep a copy of their Lebanese identity card or passport with them when moving outdoors.
The Sri Lankan Embassy in Lebanon has also issued a list of telephone numbers for Sri Lankans to contact during an emergency.
The warning comes as Lebanon has found itself entangled in the latest flare-up between Israel and Iran, as its skies are being used for Iranian missiles and drones, and Israeli interceptor rockets.
International media reports that Lebanon’s skies have become a corridor for conflict in the intensifying Israeli-Iranian standoff, sparking growing fears among Lebanese officials and analysts who warn the country is losing control over its airspace. (Newswire)
