US Department of State raises Lebanon Travel Advisory to Level 4 amid security concerns

The US Department of State raised the travel advisory for Lebanon to Level 4 - Do Not Travel due to the unpredictable security situation related to rocket, missile, and artillery exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah or other armed militant factions. 

Additionally, the travel advisory was also updated to reflect the authorized departure of some non-emergency US government personnel and eligible family members from the US Embassy in Beirut due to the unpredictable security situation in Lebanon.
