The overseas ministry on Thursday strongly urged Korean missionaries in Lebanon and Israel to depart the nations as quickly as potential amid escalating army stress within the Center East.
Hong Seok-in, who’s in control of 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 depart the world by way of accessible 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. (Yonhap)
