Hezbollah has long been known to desire the destruction of the Israeli state.

They are certainly aware that the USA is a firm supporter of Israel. For that reason, Hezbollah has no interest in protecting anyone with a United States or Israeli citizenship.

With that as fact, why would any United States citizen visit a country like Lebanon, knowing that the Hezbollah is the most powerful military force in Lebanon?

Over 25,000 did just that and now are desperate to be taken out of that battle area alive.

Time for U.S. citizens to exercise some caution and not place themselves in harm's way.
