Spain Sends Third Military Aircraft to Lebanon for Evacuation of Citizens

The Spanish government has dispatched a third military aircraft to Lebanon to evacuate its citizens. The Airbus A400 aircraft is set to bring back 68 Spaniards, comprising 65 adults and three children, from Lebanon.

The decision for evacuation comes in response to escalating tensions and ongoing attacks towards Beirut by Israel.

On October 2, Spain’s Ministry of Defense had already sent two military aircraft to Lebanon, successfully evacuating 200 citizens.
