US bank Citigroup has moved a “very small” number of its employees from Lebanon into Turkey as the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah escalates, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Beirut, Lebanon’s capital and home to Citi’s local office, has also come under attack.

“The safety and well-being of our people remains our top priority and we have taken every measure to ensure our colleagues’ safety,” a spokesperson for the bank said.

“We continue to monitor the situation and have resources in place to support our colleagues and their families.”
