The Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Lebanon is closely following the developments of the current events in the southern Lebanon region, calling on "all citizens to adhere to the travel ban decision, and to leave Lebanese territory immediately for those who are currently in Lebanon", is said on Wednesday, according to state news Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The Saudi Embassy also called on citizens in Lebanon to exercise caution and stay away from places where gatherings or demonstrations are taking place until they leave, according to the SPA.
The statement comes as hundreds of protesters took to the streets in Lebanon Tuesday following a blast at a hospital in Gaza. Demonstrations on Wednesday led to skirmishes between police and pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Police fired tear gas and used water cannons against the demonstrators on Wednesday afternoon, according to local media. Video footage of the protests released by AFP also showed water cannons being used against the demonstrators.
