The State Department has clarified that the individual reported to have been killed in Lebanon was a legal permanent resident of the United States, not an American citizen. The announcement came in response to initial reports suggesting that a US citizen had lost their life in the tragic incident.
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller addressed the situation during a news briefing, expressing the department's condolences to the family of the deceased. While confirming the individual's status as a legal permanent resident, Miller refrained from providing specific details regarding the circumstances of the death.
