Six more citizens return to Czechia from Lebanon amid rising conflict

Six more Czech citizens have returned home from Lebanon in recent days, as the security situation in the region continues to deteriorate. According to Mariana Wernerová from the Czech Foreign Ministry’s press department, five citizens were evacuated on a Ukrainian flight, while one returned on an Italian flight.

This follows a Slovak repatriation flight over the weekend, which brought nine more Czechs and three of their Lebanese family members to Bratislava.

The Czech Foreign Ministry has advised Czechs to leave the country as Lebanon faces escalating violence following intensified Israeli military operations targeting the Shiite militant group Hezbollah.
