Ottawa urges Canadians to leave Lebanon now
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly urged Canadians in Lebanon to depart while flights remain available as violence between Hezbollah and Israel escalates and the security situation could deteriorate without warning. Canada is not offering assisted departures and advises checking travel advisories and registering with the Global Affairs service. Emergency consular assistance can be sought from the Embassy in Beirut or Global Affairs Canada. Ottawa also announced sanctions on nine individuals and two entities tied to the October 7 attacks on Israel as part of its regional response.
