The Chinese embassy in Lebanon warned Chinese citizens not to travel to the country, a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry said on Thursday.
The embassy activated an emergency response plan, issued multiple security alerts and told citizens to take commercial flights to return to China, the spokesperson said at a regular press briefing.
Israel widened its airstrikes in Lebanon as tensions escalate in the Middle East.

Algerian authorities resumed visa requirements for Moroccan nationals entering the country on Thursday, state news agency APS reported.

Algeria said Morocco had abused the visa-free entry and was involved in various actions that harm Algeria’s stability and national security, including acts of espionage, according to a Foreign Ministry statement quoted by APS.

The statement did not provide any evidence supporting these accusations.

Algeria cut diplomatic ties with Morocco in 2021 citing “hostile acts” by its neighbor.

Algeria said it was “committed to preserving ties” with the “brotherly” Moroccan people.
