A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson, said:
We are deeply concerned with the highly volatile security situation in Lebanon. The safety of British nationals is our top priority, which is why we have deployed additional consular officials, Border Force and UK military personnel to the region.
We have also temporarily withdrawn the families of officials working at the British Embassy Beirut. The embassy continues to provide support to British nationals. The situation will continue to be monitored closely.
All British nationals should leave Lebanon now, while commercial routes are still available.
