The Beirut International Airport, the only international airport in Lebanon, has been busy handling passengers in recent days amid rising regional tensions.

At least 15 countries, including the U.S. and France, have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon and avoid traveling to the country.

Confrontations between the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and Israel rose recently after the latter accused Hezbollah of attacking a football pitch in the town of Majdal Shams in the occupied Golan Heights, killing a dozen people.

Israel retaliated by launching three missiles on July 30 in Beirut's southern suburbs, killing Fouad Shokor, Hezbollah's top military commander, and seven civilians.
