Thousands of U.S. citizens currently live and work in the country, and a full-scale evacuation would be the first since the 2006 Lebanon War.
The State Department is also reminding Americans to immediately avoid southern Lebanon, areas near the Syrian border and refugee settlements. The U.S. had already raised its travel advisory for Lebanon to the highest “do not travel” level earlier this year.
With violence escalating, the situation remains tense, and the Pentagon said it is closely monitoring developments to ensure the safety of U.S. citizens in the region.
