Statements from various Arab and international airlines have been released announcing the cancellation of flights to Beirut International Airport due to fears of a potential Israeli strike. As a result, the airport's air traffic has diminished, with the exception of a few flights.
Today, however, joy filled Beirut International Airport, despite the Israeli threats. Travelers returning to Beirut were welcomed with cheers, parades, drums, and flowers, as everyone danced to the music, creating a joyful scene that contradicted all expectations.
In related news, the American embassy in Beirut has urged its citizens to leave Lebanon as soon as possible, and advised those who do not wish to leave to prepare for an extended stay in their locations. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the German Foreign Office stated, "We advise German citizens to leave Lebanon urgently."
