U.S. Urges Americans to Leave Lebanon Amid Escalating Israel-Hezbollah Conflict

The U.S. Embassy in Beirut has issued a strong warning for American citizens to depart as hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah intensify.

Hezbollah continues to launch missiles into Israel, prompting increased military action from Israeli forces.
The U.S. Embassy has been facilitating flights for Americans wishing to leave Lebanon, with over 1,100 people already assisted.
Despite diplomatic efforts, hostilities have persisted since the conflict began in October 2023 following a deadly Hamas attack in Israel.
Israel has intensified its military operations, including airstrikes and ground maneuvers, targeting Hezbollah leadership.
The U.S. government warns that additional flight capacity will not be available indefinitely and urges citizens to prepare contingency plans.
