Sri Lankans working in southern Lebanon have been advised to immediately register themselves with the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Beirut,
as deep concerns are rife about a broader regional conflict amid the escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon on the margins of the Israel-Palestine war.
Accordingly, the following mobile numbers and the e-mail address have been introduced for this purpose:
• 70 386754 – Mr. Sanath Balasuriya, the First Secretary
• 71 960810 – Mr. Priyantha Dassanayake
• slemb.beirut@mfa.gov.lk
Following the eruption of the Israel-Palestine war, there have been steady exchanges of fire between the Israeli military and Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, which borders Israel to the south and Syria to the north and east.
