The U.S. Embassy in Beirut is warning Americans to either leave Lebanon or be prepared to shelter in place as tensions between Hezbollah and Israel rise in a “complex and quickly changing situation.”
“We recommend U.S. citizens develop a crisis plan of action and leave before a crisis begins,” Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Rena Bitter said in a video message posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on July 29. “Regularly scheduled commercial transportation is always the best option, while local communications and transportation infrastructure are intact and operating normally.”
