More than 200 Chinese citizens have been safely evacuated from Lebanon in two batches as the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah escalates. The first batch comprised 69 Chinese citizens and 11 foreign family members who arrived in Cyprus on Tuesday by boat. The second batch consisted of 146 Chinese citizens and five foreign family members who arrived in Beijing on a chartered flight early on Wednesday.

CGTN Stringer interviewed a Chinese evacuee, who recalled, "When I entered the cabin and heard the greeting 'Welcome home,' I knew I was safe." He also expressed gratitude on his safe return, saying, "Thank you to our great motherland."
