Americans in Lebanon should leave now while flights are still available, White House national security spokesman John Kirby says, as violence escalates sharply between the Hezbollah terror group and Israel along the Israel-Lebanon border.
“We want to make sure that there are still commercial options available for Americans to leave, and they should be leaving now while those options are available,” Kirby tells ABC News’ “Good Morning America” program, adding that US officials have been in constant contact with Israeli counterparts.
