Spain And Germany to Evacuate Citizens from Lebanon Amid Ongoing Crisis

Spain is preparing to evacuate up to 350 citizens from Lebanon, with plans to deploy two military aircraft as early as Thursday, announced Defence Minister Margarita Robles on Wednesday.

In an interview with Antena 3 TV, Robles confirmed that the Spanish military is fully prepared for the operation. “The Spanish airplanes are ready, and the staff are ready, as always with the professionalism of the Spanish Army,” she stated.

The decision comes in response to requests from a group of Spanish nationals currently in Lebanon who have expressed their desire to return home.
