Emergency response ongoing in Nuwairi and Ras Al Naba’a area of Beirut, Lebanon, following reported Israeli airstrikes evening of Oct. 10.
Emergency response is ongoing after Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeted buildings in the Nuwairi and Ras Al Naba’a areas of Beirut on the evening of Oct. 10. Emerging reports indicate that at least two people have been killed and nine others injured. Authorities will likely update casualty figures in the coming hours.
Heightened security and disruptions to transport and business will probably affect the area over the coming hours. Authorities may close local roads or evacuate nearby buildings on short notice to facilitate the emergency response and ensure public safety. Further attacks are likely over the coming days.
Avoid the impacted areas until authorities give the all-clear. Seek alternative routes to circumvent the affected areas and allow additional travel time to nearby destinations. Adhere to all instructions issued by local officials and your home government. 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 to leave Lebanon may become increasingly limited if the security environment further deteriorates.
