Poland has decided to evacuate its citizens from Lebanon, the press secretary of the Republic’s Foreign Ministry, Pavel Wronsky, told reporters.
⠀
«The situation in Lebanon is very tense. Israel launched a ground operation. At least dozens of our citizens are waiting to return to the country. They will arrive in Poland in the coming days,” Wronski said.
⠀
He noted that we are not talking about organized groups of Poles located in Lebanon. “These are mostly people who work there, live there with their families,” Vronsky said.
⠀
He noted that evacuation from Lebanon is still possible by airline flights.
⠀
“Departure is still possible, as there are still charter flights, although most airlines have already suspended flights to Lebanon,” a Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
⠀
On September 23, the Israeli Army General Staff assigned the name “Arrows of the North” to the offensive operation that began in Lebanon. Since last week, the Israeli Air Force has been carrying out massive strikes on targets of the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah in different areas of Lebanon.
⠀
Several targeted airstrikes were also recorded on Beirut, as a result of which high-ranking Hezbollah commanders were eliminated, as well as the movement’s Secretary General Hassan Nasrullah.
