South Korea Evacuates 97 Citizens From Lebanon Amid Rising Israel-Hezbollah Tensions A South Korean military KC-330 aircraft evacuated 97 citizens and their Lebanese family members from Lebanon on October 5 amid rising tensions in the region. The evacuation followed President Yoon Suk Yeol’s order to deploy military aircraft to remove South Koreans from areas affected by the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The aircraft landed in Beirut on October 4 and returned safely to South Korea. The government has promised further measures to protect its citizens, while South Korean diplomats remain stationed in Lebanon, according to Yonhap news agency.
