The German Foreign Ministry announced the evacuation of its employees working at the German Embassy in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, in addition to their family members and members of German organizations operating there. A statement by the German Foreign Ministry stated that a German Air Force plane took off from Beirut today, Monday, with 110 passengers on board, some of whom do not hold German citizenship. The German Foreign and Defense Ministries had previously stated that there were 'German citizens who are particularly at risk due to medical conditions who were also transported on board the armed forces plane.' It is noteworthy that the German government had announced that its crisis cell had decided to re-raise the level of alert at the diplomatic representation headquarters in both Beirut and Ramallah, provided that these embassies remain able to operate, with the evacuation of non-essential employees. The German Foreign Ministry said earlier today that it estimates that there are still 1,800 Germ ans in Lebanon who have registered themselves on the crisis preparedness list. Large areas of Lebanon are witnessing a Zionist aggression that has left hundreds of martyrs and thousands of wounded and caused a widespread displacement crisis from the villages and towns of the south towards the central and northern regions.
