US urges citizens to leave Lebanon on 'any available ticket'
BBC ^ | Aug 3, 2024 | Tom Bennett and Adam Durbin

The US embassy in Beirut has urged its citizens to leave Lebanon on “any ticket available”, amid soaring tensions in the Middle East.

The advisory follows a similar warning from UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who said the regional situation “could deteriorate rapidly”.

The US embassy stated on Saturday that those who choose to stay in Lebanon should “prepare contingency plans” and be prepared to “shelter in place for an extended period of time”.

It said that several airlines have suspended and cancelled flights, and many have sold out, but “commercial transportation options to leave Lebanon remain available".

And sometime in the future Damascus will be the worlds easiest place to find a parking spot.

It is beginning to look like it’s heating up. Rapidly.

Wonder if “we” are going to do it. May just mean Israelis versus more attackers hitting them.

Truth is the first casualty of war.

They may simply mean more hostages and deaths of civilians are coming in the expanded war in that region.

Beirut was once described as the Paris of the Middle East..., now Paris is rapidly becoming the Beirut of Europe...

"WHY are we getting ready to attack Lebanon??

I think the US Gov. believes that Israel and Iran
are about to rumble in Lebanon. Being an American
citizen in Lebanon could be dangerous to ones health.

I don’t think we are the problem. Iran may be planning on attacking them. In any case, I’d be on my way out.

All Russian citizens have been advised to leave Lebanon immediately or move up north to safer regions at the moment if they face any issues.

The Kremlin has also warned Israel and it’s allies it will be held responsible for any Russian casualties.

Hopefully there are boats to Cyprus. From there they can move further out.

Dave Hunt (RIP) said Beirut was once a place of 5-star hotels before the jihadis ruined it all
