US To Citizens: Do Not Travel To Lebanon
The US State Department raised its travel advisory level to 4, the highest level, telling American citizens not to travel to Lebanon, after Israel eliminated Hezbollah military chief • Full Story
The State Department stated: “Do Not Travel to Lebanon due to rising tensions between Hezbollah and Israel. If you are in Lebanon, be prepared to shelter in place should the situation deteriorate. The US Embassy strongly encourages US citizens who are already in Southern Lebanon, near the borders with Syria, and/or in refugee settlements to depart.
“Since October 8, Hezbollah has conducted attacks against Israel that have escalated in recent weeks, culminating in a July 27 rocket attack on Majdal Shams, a town in the Golan Heights, which killed 12 children. This strike has increased the risk of further escalation between Hizballah and Israel,” it added.
