China on Sunday called on concerned parties, especially Israel, to immediately de-escalate tensions to prevent the West Asia conflict from spiraling out of control following the killing of Iran-backed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by Israeli forces.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement expressing deep concern over the escalating tensions in the region. The statement also included an advisory for Chinese citizens to avoid traveling to Lebanon due to increased hostilities.
