US urges citizens to leave Lebanon immediately
published at 22:22
The United States has urged its citizens in Lebanon to leave the country immediately.
"We urge US citizens not to travel to Lebanon. If you are in the country, depart Lebanon NOW while commercial flight options remain available," the US Embassy in Beirut writes on X.
"The security situation in Lebanon is volatile and unpredictable. Airstrikes have occurred throughout the country, especially in the south, the Beqaa, and parts of Beirut."
Only a few minutes ago, our colleagues in the Lebanese capital reported hearing a large explosion in Dahieh, a stronghold of Iran-affiliated Hezbollah.
