ISRAEL TO HELP PROTECT AMERICANS FLEEING LEBANON

U.S. Fears Hezbollah Attacks on Americans During Evacuations (Fox News)
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The United States fears a Hezbollah attack during its evacuation of up to 5,000 Americans from war-torn Beirut, and is working with Israel to coordinate their safety, the U.S. military said Tuesday.

Vice Admiral Patrick Walsh said Israel was aware that the U.S. would be ferrying evacuees from the port of Beirut to Cyprus on the chartered cruise ship Orient Queen, and that several U.S. and Israeli warships would be on hand to protect Americans from an attack by the guerrilla group.

THIS, INSPITE OF THE FACT, THAT MANY OF THE AMERICANS IN LEBANON ARE HEZBOLLAH SUPPORTERS.
