The US State Department issued a travel advisory that urged Americans in Lebanon to leave while commercial flight options are available, Anadolu reports.

“Due to the unpredictable nature of ongoing conflict between Hizballah and Israel and recent explosions throughout Lebanon, including Beirut, the U.S Embassy urges U.S citizens to depart Lebanon while commercial options still remain available,” according to the advisory that used an alternative spelling for the Lebanese group.

“At this time, commercial flights are available, but at reduced capacity. If the security situation worsens, commercial options to depart may become unavailable,” it added.

The US “strongly” urged Americans in southern Lebanon, near the borders with Syria, and or in refugee settlements to immediately depart those areas.
