Do not travel to Lebanon due to active cross-border hostilities, airstrikes, and the risk of a wider conflict.
Do not travel to Lebanon. Cross-border hostilities have intensified through June 2026, and airstrikes and exchanges of fire continue in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa despite a fragile and repeatedly violated ceasefire. Strikes have reached areas beyond the south, including the vicinity of Beirut, and a fatality occurred on the first day of the latest truce. Airport operations and airspace are subject to abrupt suspension. The risk of sudden, wider escalation is high, and consular assistance and evacuation capability are limited. Travellers who remain should avoid the south and the southern suburbs of Beirut, monitor official alerts, and be prepared for departure routes to close without notice. The situation can deteriorate rapidly and unpredictably.
