The international ministry on Thursday strongly urged Korean missionaries in Lebanon and Israel to depart the international locations as quickly as potential amid escalating army rigidity within the Center East.
Hong Seok-in, who’s answerable for the safety of abroad nationals and consular affairs, conveyed the warning throughout a gathering with 10 missionary organizations.
He strongly suggested the missionaries in Lebanon and Israel to promptly go away the world by way of out there flights, contemplating the escalating battle between Israel and Hezbollah, a militant group primarily based in Lebanon.
Final week, South Korea issued a journey ban on a wider area in southern Lebanon resulting from Hezbollah’s intensifying battle with Israel.
