Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini Foreign Ministry called on Bahrainis in Lebanon to leave immediately in a statement issued on Sunday (November 5, 2017), also urging them to completely avoid traveling to Lebanon.

"Due to the current conditions and developments in Lebanon, the foreign ministry asks citizens present in Lebanon to leave immediately and exercise extreme caution," Bahrain's foreign ministry said in a statement.

The Gulf island urged its citizens to avoid travelling to Lebanon "for their own safety and to avoid any dangers they might encounter."

Bahrain's warning came a day after Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced his sudden resignation from the Saudi capital Riyadh, raising tensions. Saudi Arabia had also issued a similar warning.

However, no further details were disclosed regarding the specific nature of any threat.
