EgyptAir advises customers to revise or modify Lebanon travel bookings amid heightened regional tensions

EgyptAir advised customers on Monday to revise or modify their bookings to and from the Lebanese capital Beirut amid potential military escalation between the Lebanese Hezbollah group and Israel. The national flag carrier has urged local clients to call the hotline 1717 or landline 090070000 and international clients to call +97142306666 or +966122297777 for inquiries. Moreover, customers can visit the EgyptAir website (www.egyptair.com) or drop in at the nearest sales office. In recent days, many governments have urged their nationals to urgently leave Lebanon as Iran and Hezbollah vowed to retaliate against Israel's high-profile killing of Hezbollah's top military commander Fouad Shukur in south Beirut on Wednesday and the assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran hours later. In addition, several international airlines have suspended flights to and from Israel and to and from Lebanon amid expectations of Hezbollah retaliation.<br/>
