Amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, more than 1,100 US citizens, legal permanent residents, and their family members have been evacuated on US-organized flights. The US State Department has been actively coordinating these evacuation efforts.
According to a State Department spokesperson, multiple flights have been arranged to transport individuals from Beirut to Istanbul. One flight departed last night, followed by another this morning. The flight this morning carried around 50 passengers, while the previous night's flight had approximately 13 to 14 passengers on board.
