(WBAP/KLIF) — The US Embassy in Lebanon is urging Americans to evacuate the country due to increasing danger of the Israel-Hamas conflict spilling over. “The State Department recommends that U.S. citizens in Lebanon leave now, while commercial flights remain available, due to the unpredictable security situation,” the embassy said in a security alert.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has threatened to escalate the ongoing conflict between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas. You should have a plan of action for crisis situations that does not rely on U.S. government assistance. The best time to leave a country is before a crisis, if at all possible. U.S. military-assisted evacuations of civilians from a foreign country are rare,” the embassy wrote.
“There is no guarantee the U.S. government will evacuate private U.S. citizens and their family members in a crisis situation,” it added. Emergency visa services and visa processing are being limited to prioritize the evacuation of US civilians.
