The US embassy in Beirut issued an updated advisory on Saturday calling on all American citizens to leave Lebanon.
“Due to the unpredictable nature of ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel and recent explosions throughout Lebanon, including Beirut, the US embassy urges US citizens to depart Lebanon while commercial options still remain available,” the advisory read.
“At this time, commercial flights are available, but at reduced capacity. If the security situation worsens, commercial options to depart may become unavailable,” added the mission.
In late July, the US elevated its travel advisory for Lebanon to the highest level, “Do not travel,” following an IAF strike in southern Beirut that killed top Hezbollah terrorist Fuad Shukr on July 30.
