Amid fears Israel will launch a retaliatory attack on Lebanon, Australians are being urged not to travel there and to leave immediately.
The Australian government has issued a fresh warning against travel to Lebanon, amid fears Israel will launch a retaliatory strike on the country. Some flights at Beirut airport have been cancelled or delayed with Lebanon's Middle East Airlines saying disruptions to its schedule were related to insurance risks, as tensions between Israel and armed political group Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, escalate in Lebanon.
Further flight cancellations and disruptions could occur with little or no notice." On Sunday, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Australia "unequivocally condemns" Hezbollah's rocket attack on the town of Majdal Shams. Germany's Lufthansa and Lufthansa's budget airline Eurowings have cancelled three flights to Beirut scheduled for Monday afternoon, according to the information board at the airport and flight tracking website Flightradar24.
