It isn’t good, but it also isn’t necessarily “bad”,
The entire region is getting destabilized. So if anyone can leave, they should. It is when we start evacuating the embassies that things are REALLY bad.
Like, to put it in context: I used to work a job where I was required to inform the US government when I went on international travel. I still remember having to explain to one of my interns that the downright terrifying message about being on high alert when going to the UK was the “official” way of saying “Trump is going to be in country and people will probably politely protest. Don’t join them”
At this stage is common sense. Maybe things will calm down, or at least remain the usual level of fucked up, but if they don’t then people in Lebanon will be caught in the crossfire between Hezbollah and the IDF.
Yeah, there’s a good chance the whole area will become a no fly zone soon, and retaliation against Americans still in the area will only increase of the US joins in the bombing or even just supports Israel to prevent defending against Israel’s bombings.
Well, this doesn’t bode well.

State is more concerned about US citizens in Lebanon being targeted as a form of retaliation against US support of Israel.
We are looking at a real possibility of another Arab/Israeli war breaking out soon. Thats what “while commercial options still remain” means.

Well, that’s what their job is supposed to be about, right? Safety of their citizens.
I think it should be fine.
