US embassy in Lebanon says it will remain closed until further notice
The United States embassy in Beirut says it will remain closed until further notice, as Israel continued its strikes on Lebanon in retaliation for Hezbollah’s rocket launches amid the US-Israeli strikes in Iran.
“Due to ongoing regional tensions, US Embassy Beirut will be closed until further notice,” the embassy posts on X, a day after it renewed its call for citizens to leave Lebanon immediately.
