Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Issues Advisory Amid Escalating Tensions Between Lebanon and Israel

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan has issued a spot information advisory due to the escalating situation between Lebanon and Israel.

On July 27, a number of civilians were killed or injured in Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, which is under Israeli control, due to attacks from Lebanon. Afterwards, Israel has continued its assaults on southern Lebanon among other areas. Additionally, on the following day, July 28, the Israeli government granted Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant the authority to decide on a plan of attack against the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. It is considered that the situation may escalate further from here.

Those planning to travel or stay in Israel and Lebanon are urged to cancel their plans, and those already staying there are encouraged to consider early departure while commercial flights are still in operation.
