Lebanon: Security Situation

The security situation in Lebanon continues to be volatile. There are ongoing Israeli military airstrikes in southern Beirut and southern Lebanon. Israeli military ground operations in southern Lebanon are likely to continue. Tensions are high and the conflict could deteriorate quickly or spread to other areas in Lebanon with little warning. Your ability to move to safety could be impacted. We continue to advise that New Zealanders do not travel to Lebanon. If you are currently in Lebanon, our advice remains that New Zealanders should leave now.
