"We encourage those who wish to depart Lebanon to book any ticket available to them, even if that flight does not depart immediately or does not follow their first-choice route," the embassy said. "U.S. military-assisted evacuations of civilians from a foreign country are rare. U.S. citizens should not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation in a crisis. In the case of an evacuation, you may not be able to leave with your extended family, cannot take pets, and will be expected to reimburse the U.S. government for your transportation to a safe location. You will be responsible for the costs of onward travel from that safe location to the United States."
