Israeli airstrike injures several people near Beddawi Refugee Camp in Tripoli, North Governorate, Lebanon, early Oct. 5. Avoid area.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched an airstrike near the Beddawi Refugee Camp in Tripoli, North Governorate, early Oct. 5. Unconfirmed sources suggest that a residential building was targeted and several people were injured.
Over the coming hours, the affected areas will likely experience increased security, as well as transport and business disruptions. Further cross-border violence is likely in the short term.
Avoid the impacted area until authorities give the all-clear. Seek alternative routes and allow additional travel time to nearby destinations. Heed instructions from authorities. In light of recent regional tensions, consider avoiding nonessential travel to Lebanon, particularly the border region shared with Israel, until the situation stabilizes. Consider departing Lebanon via commercial means while these are available. Note that commercial options in Lebanon may become increasingly limited if the security environment deteriorates.
