Bahrain on Sunday instructed its citizens to leave Lebanon “immediately,” citing "security developments.” Bahrain has previously said its citizens should not travel to Lebanon for any reason. The Foreign Ministry reiterated “its previous statements which warn against traveling to the Lebanese Republic as a measure to protect citizens from all dangers and ensure their safety,” its statement said. Sunday’s “call follows the latest security developments in the area which require taking all the necessary measures to ensure safety,” the ministry added.
