The US Embassy in Beirut has urged American citizens in Lebanon to leave, citing “complex” security environment that “can change quickly.”
“We urge US citizens to depart Lebanon while commercial flight options remain available,” the embassy said in a statement on Wednesday.
“We recommend that US citizens in Lebanon who choose not to leave prepare contingency plans for emergency situations and to monitor the news for breaking developments,” it added.
“There are ongoing risks of terrorism and kidnapping throughout Lebanon,” the mission warned.
Places commonly visited by US citizens and tourists in Beirut and across Lebanon “may become a target for these attacks,” the embassy added, calling on US citizens to avoid protests and large gatherings.
