SEOUL: South Korea’s foreign ministry on Tuesday “strongly advised” its nationals in Lebanon and Israel to leave as soon as possible because of escalating tensions in the Middle East. The travel advisory was issued after a commander of the Iran-aligned Lebanese group Hezbollah and the head of the political wing of Hamas, the group that runs the Gaza Strip, were killed, Lee Jae-woong, a ministry spokesperson said. The assassinations came after a deadly rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights late last month.
