The US State Department has issued a level 4 travel advisory for Lebanon, urging Americans not to travel to the country due to escalating tensions between Hezbollah and Israel. The advisory, updated on Wednesday, specifically cites the growing conflict between the two parties as a reason for the warning.
A statement from the State Department reads, “Do Not Travel to Lebanon due to rising tensions between Hizballah and Israel. If you are in Lebanon, be prepared to shelter in place should the situation deteriorate.”
