Washington called on the Americans to leave Lebanon immediately

The US embassy in Lebanon has urged its citizens to leave Lebanon by "any means possible" amid fears of war between Israel and Hezbollah and a wider regional conflict, AFP reported.

Despite the suspension and cancellation of flights, "opportunities to leave Lebanon by commercial transport remain available," the embassy said in a statement. "We encourage those wishing to leave Lebanon to book all available tickets, even if the flight does not take off immediately or does not follow the best route." | BGNES
