The British government on Thursday ordered families of its diplomats in Israel to leave the country in the wake of the Israel-Hamas tension, APA reports citing Reuters.
All diplomats would remain on active duty and keep offering consular services, Britain's foreign office said in a statement.
"We are temporarily drawing down dependants of staff at our Embassy in Tel Aviv and our Consulate in Jerusalem as a precautionary measure," it added.
Britain has advised against all non-essential travel to Israel, and the foreign office said it had made its decision about the dependents of diplomats "in line" with that advice.
