The US Embassy in Beirut issued a security alert on Wednesday urging American citizens to leave Lebanon while commercial flight options remain available.
" We recommend that U.S. citizens in Lebanon who choose not to leave prepare contingency plans for emergency situations. The security environment remains complex and can change rapidly ," the U.S. embassy said.
The embassy also urged people not to visit areas where there has been military activity, as these may contain unexploded ordnance.
The alert stated that there were ongoing risks of terrorism and kidnapping throughout Lebanon and warned that places frequented by American citizens and tourists could become targets of these attacks.
Last week, US President Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon that took effect at 5pm on April 16, following a deadly exchange of fire between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, which had intensified since early March.
