U.S. State Department Advises Americans to Leave Lebanon

U.S. officials have recommended that all Americans leave Lebanon while they still can, as fighting intensifies across the border between Israel and Hezbollah. The State Department issued a recommendation on the platform "X," formerly known as Twitter, for Americans to leave the Middle Eastern country "while commercial flights are still available" due to the "unpredictable security situation" in the region. This warning comes as Israeli forces continue to exchange fire with Hezbollah fighters along the border amid the escalating war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
