War fears and flight cancellations in Lebanon send travelers and residents scrambling

People await their flights at the Beirut International Airport departure hall on Monday. Urgent calls grew for foreign nationals to leave Lebanon, which would be on the front line of a regional war, as Iran and its allies readied their response to high-profile killings blamed on Israel.

The U.S. and other governments issued Lebanon travel advisories and some airlines stopped flying there, in anticipation of an escalation of fighting after assassinations in Iran and Beirut.
