US urges citizens in Lebanon to leave while commercial options available: Embassy

The United States has urged its citizens in Lebanon to leave the country while commercial options are available and warned against travel to the country, its embassy in Beirut said on Saturday.

"If already in the country, the Department of State urges U.S. citizens to depart Lebanon now while commercial options remain available," the embassy's statement read, adding that they "urge U.S. citizens not to travel to Lebanon."

Lebanon's authorities fear the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah could become involved in the conflict that saw the U.S. and Israel bomb Iran on Saturday and Tehran respond with missile attacks.
