Foreign Ministry evacuating Czech citizens in Lebanon

The Foreign Ministry has announced that a convoy for Czech citizens who want to leave Lebanon amid escalating clashes between the Hezbollah movement and Israeli forces will be leaving for Syria on Monday morning. Of the 200 estimated Czechs in Lebanon, some 150 are permanent residents of the country. The ministry recommends that all Czech citizens, who want to leave the country, contact the Czech Embassy in Beirut as soon as possible as the security situation is worsening and similar convoys may soon no longer be possible. A group of Czechs and Lebanese have already fled to safety and arrived in Prague on Sunday morning.
