The federal government is warning Canadians to avoid all travel to Lebanon and telling those already in the country to leave now, as the crisis in Israel and Gaza worsens and concerns grow that the conflict could spill over the border.
For now, tensions between the Israeli military and Hezbollah — a political party and armed movement in Lebanon which supports the Palestinian militant factions Hamas and Islamic Jihad, all of which are backed by the Iranian regime — have been limited to exchanges of artillery fire and rocket attacks in border regions.
Diplomatic efforts are underway to prevent any further escalation, though the Israeli Defence Forces have already evacuated communities near the border with Lebanon, and Hezbollah has warned it’s “fully ready” to intervene in the Israel-Hamas war.
They aren’t Canadians, they just have a Canadian passport. Why on earth would you choose to live in Hezbollah land? Leave them there.
