UPDATED: Russia recommends that its citizens leave Israel

MOSCOW, Oct 13 (Reuters) – Russia recommends that its citizens leave Israel on scheduled flights, the RIA news agency quoted the Russian embassy as saying on Friday.

RIA cited the embassy as saying that 12 Russian citizens were missing in connection with the Israel-Palestinian conflict and that the number of Russians killed as a result of the violence was continuing to grow, without elaborating.

Meanwhile, Turkey’s foreign ministry urged citizens in Lebanon on Friday to stay away from the country’s south because of fighting between Israeli and Palestinian forces there, and advised them to stay north of the Litani river.

In view of the developments reflecting on Lebanon’s south, the ministry said on social media platform X, “It is recommended for our citizens in Lebanon to remain cautious and, if possible, stay away from regions south of the Litani river.”
