China has called on its citizens to leave Israel immediately due to the worsening situation in the region.
This was reported by Israel Info.
According to media reports, the Chinese Embassy in Tel Aviv issued a statement describing the extremely tense and unpredictable situation. Particular attention is being paid to the situation on the border with Lebanon. The embassy recommends that Chinese citizens return to their home country or move to safer areas.
Interestingly, Beijing had previously called on its citizens to leave Lebanon, but had so far avoided similar recommendations regarding Israel. However, despite the calls, Chinese workers working in Israel are in no hurry to leave.
According to Kalkalist, around 25,000 Chinese workers remain in the country and none of them have expressed a desire to return home. The Israeli authorities even tried to increase the number of Chinese workers after the start of the war, but Beijing refused to support this initiative.
Previously, Kursor wrote that residents of southern Lebanon are abandoning their homes en masse.
In southern Lebanon, the evacuation of residents of the village of Al-Adisa, located near the border with Israel, has begun. According to Lebanese sources, the evacuation is being carried out in coordination with the UN and the Lebanese army, as well as with the indirect participation of Israel.
Villagers are removing furniture and property from their homes in an organised manner, fearing a possible expansion of hostilities on the northern front.
Officially, the evacuation is explained by worsening weather conditions ahead of the arrival of winter, which could lead to material damage. However, the most likely reason is the growing risk of further conflict due to ongoing fighting on the border between Israel and Lebanon.
