It didn&#8217;t care about anything at all, not morally, not humanely, not legally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Nasrallah vowed a harsh punishment, but indicated his group was not interested in an escalation of its current conflict with Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">US and UK authorities have urged their citizens not to travel to Lebanon. The White House said it was involved in intense diplomacy to prevent escalation of the conflict along the Israel-Lebanon border. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Reiterating previous calls, the UK Foreign Office said it is &#8220;continuing to advise people to leave Lebanon now while commercial routes remain available&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The BBC understands that during a Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms (COBR) meeting officials discussed ongoing preparedness work, particularly with regards to British nationals, should there be any further escalation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c5y9wyy9pr2o\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the pager and walkie-talkie explosions across Lebanon earlier this week, there has been a deepened&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44839,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[1918,1158,1300,295,342,189,690],"class_list":["post-44836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-stories","tag-beirut","tag-commander","tag-hezbollah","tag-israeli","tag-killed","tag-strike","tag-top"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
