BERLIN (Reuters) - Rumours of a possible evacuation operation from Lebanon have given German citizens there a false sense of security, a German foreign ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday, urging them to leave the country immediately.
"The time now has come to leave Lebanon," the spokesperson said, calling on citizens to organise their own exit even if this means travelling via Turkiye or paying high prices for flights.
