It comes after 37 people were killed and over 3,000 injured in remote-controlled device explosions across Lebanon.

Israeli Mossad spies twice surprised terror group Hezbollah by hiding explosives inside their pagers and walkie-talkies and setting them off.

Mr Lammy tweeted today: “My message to British nationals in Lebanon is leave while commercial options remain.

“Tensions are high and the situation could deteriorate rapidly.”

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has threatened a “crushing response” against Israel for the hack attacks this week.
