#lebanon #israel #hezbollah
Israel carried out more airstrikes on Lebanon on Wednesday as it continued to target the militant group Hezbollah.
At least 51 people were killed and 223 wounded in the attacks, the Lebanese health minister Firass Abiad said during a press conference.
British defence chiefs are ramping up plans to evacuate British citizens from Lebanon amid fears of all-out war, with about 700 British troops deploying to Cyprus imminently. But Sir Keir Starmer has urged Britons not to wait for evacuation flights, adding: “The time to leave is now.”

00:00In relation to Lebanon, I'm very worried about the escalation and calling for all parties
00:19to step back from the brink to de-escalate. We need a ceasefire so this can be sorted
00:24out diplomatically. But I have a very important message for British nationals in Lebanon,
00:30which is the time to leave is now. The contingency plans are being ramped up, but don't wait
00:37for those. There are still commercial flights. It's very important that they hear my message,
00:42which is to leave and to leave immediately.
