The citizen had traveled to Lebanon with his family via another country ABU DHABI: UAE attorney-general Hamad Said Al-Shamsi ordered an immediate investigation into a UAE national who violated the country’s travel ban to Lebanon, state news agency WAM reported on Friday. The citizen had traveled to Lebanon with his family via another country, overcoming the travel restrictions placed from the UAE. He will be investigated for endangering his family’s safety amid the escalating violence in Lebanon, WAM said. “The Attorney-General emphasized the importance of adhering to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ travel advisories, which are designed to protect UAE citizens from potential dangers in certain regions,” read the statement. Violators will be subject to fines and/or imprisonment according to the UAE Penal Code, warned Al-Shamsi. Israel has intensified its bombardment on Lebanon, a year after it exchanged almost daily cross-border fire with the militant group Hezbollah since the war in Gaza started last October. The international community has called for a ceasefire to prevent the outbreak of a wider war in the region.
