In a statement posted on WeChat, the Chinese embassy said:
“All Chinese citizens currently in Israel are advised to leave the country as quickly as possible via land routes, with particular recommendation to head toward Jordan.”

The embassy further noted that in recent days the conflict has been “continuously escalating,” and numerous civilian structures have been damaged as a result.
