A war between Israel and Hezbollah would likely spark the most destructive war in the region in decades and lay waste to vast swathes of Israel and Lebanon. In the event of war and evacuation, most Americans would be evacuated by the United States military — 15,000 were evacuated by the military during the 2006 war. But for those who miss extraction, a rescue nonprofit has set up shop in Lebanon to extract those left behind.
With rumors of war heating up, the next major target appears to be Lebanon, where Stern has set up shop in preparation. The country presents its own, unique challenges to evacuation. in an interview. “So very often I can find a backup or an alternate … So it’s either by air or by sea. I’m not going to bring Americans into Syria; that doesn’t work. Yeah, that’s not going to work out well at all.

However, a strike at the Beirut airport isn’t guaranteed. Hezbollah is based primarily in the Shiite stronghold in the south, and Israeli ground operations would likely be confined there. Stern believes a strike on the airport is more likely than not, as the Israel Defense Forces will aim to cut off Hezbollah’s supply lines. If they do, it would serve as a “triggering moment for all sides.”
