The Canadian government has reiterated its travel advice for Canadians in Lebanon, asking them to “consider leaving by commercial means” if the individuals can do so safely.
“Avoid all travel to Lebanon due to a deteriorating security situation, civil unrest, the increased risk of terrorist attack and the ongoing armed conflict with Israel,” it said in a statement.
Tensions have been escalating between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.
Since the war broke out in Gaza on October 7, Hezbollah has exchanged deadly fire across the border with Israel, stoking international concerns of the conflict spreading across the region.
