U.S. Embassy in Beirut Under Siege

DEVELOPING STORY: Hundreds of Lebanese protester swarmed outside the U.S. Embassy in Beirut after an explosion reportedly killed hundreds at a hospital in Gaza. The blast was not caused by Israel, but rather a missile that had been fired from Gaza. Police had to deploy tear gas to disperse the demonstrators who gathered outside the embassy.

Fox News reports protesters threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at demonstrations, which caused a fire near the embassy.

The US State Department announces it is raising its Travel Advisory for Lebanon to Level 4 – Do Not Travel, and is approving Authorized Departure for some State employees & their families at the embassy in Beirut due to the “unpredictable security situation” in Lebanon. Authorized departure allows the option for some to leave on a case by case basis, but is not “ordered departure”, when leaving is required.
