Canada on Tuesday reiterated a call for its citizens to leave Lebanon while they can, saying the security situation in the country was becoming increasingly volatile and unpredictable due to the conflict between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah.
"My message to Canadians has been clear since the beginning of the crisis in the Middle East: it is not the time to travel to Lebanon. And for Canadians currently in Lebanon, it is time to leave, while commercial flights remain available," Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said in a statement.

Neutralizing Iran could make crude oil much cheaper because the threat posed by Tehran imposed a "terror premium" that inflated global oil prices for decades, a top White House adviser said in a report to be released on Monday.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared Monday that the "limited" ground operation launched in South Lebanon will continue "until Hezbollah no longer poses a threat to the residents of northern Israel" - drawing a direct parallel with Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
Israel said on Monday it has detailed plans for at least three more weeks of war as its military pounded sites across Iran overnight, while Iranian drone attacks temporarily shut Dubai airport and hit a key oil facility in the United Arab Emirates.
