Saudi Arabia called on its citizens to quickly leave Lebanese territory and to avoid approaching areas where there have been armed clashes, the Saudi embassy in Lebanon said in a statement published late on Friday.
The embassy stressed "the importance of adhering to the Saudi travel ban to Lebanon," the statement added.
Kuwait also issued an advisory early on Saturday calling on Kuwaitis in Lebanon to stay vigilant and avoid "areas of security disturbances.”
On Aug. 1, the United Kingdom also updated its travel advice for Lebanon, advising against "all but essential travel" to parts of Lebanon’s south near the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh.
At least 13 people, most of them militants, were killed in fighting that broke out in the camp on July 29, security sources in the camp said.
