France on Wednesday advised citizens against travel to Lebanon, citing 'security tensions', as protesters around the region voiced fury at a blast that killed hundreds of Palestinians at a hospital in the deadliest incident in Gaza of the Israel-Hamas war.

In Tunis, protesters burned Israeli and American flags and demanded the expulsion of the U.S. and French ambassadors for what they termed their unconditional support for Israel. The death toll from the hospital explosion was by far the highest of any single incident in Gaza during the current violence, and saw protests erupt on Tuesday evening and again on Wednesday in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the wider region, including in Jordan, Iran, Tunisia, Lebanon and Turkey.
In Lebanon, security forces fired tear gas and water canon at protesters who were throwing projectiles as a protest near the U.S. embassy north of Beirut turned violent, footage broadcast by footage broadcast by Lebanese broadcaster al-Jadeed. The French Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday it was advising its citizens against any travel to Lebanon, unless impossible otherwise, given the "security tensions in the region", especially at south Lebanon's border with Israel.
