UK sending military to Cyprus for potential Lebanon evacuations
Britain's foreign ministry said late Tuesday that it was sending military teams to Cyprus as it prepares "contingency plans" for its citizens in Lebanon as the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah rages.
"Around 700 UK troops will move to Cyprus in the coming hours," the ministry said, urging British nationals to "leave Lebanon immediately".
