MOFA was responding to a question from CNA on whether the offices will remain open as both the United States State Department and German Foreign Office have asked some of their diplomats and/or their family members to leave Lebanon after the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah from Israeli strikes earlier this week.

Taiwan's office in Jordan is responsible for affairs related to Lebanon.

"Due to the increased volatility following airstrikes within Beirut and the volatile and unpredictable security situation throughout Lebanon, the U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens to depart Lebanon while commercial options still remain available," the U.S. State Department said Saturday.

The German Foreign Office announced the same day that it has decided to further raise the crisis level for Germany's representations in Beirut, Ramallah and Tel Aviv due to the escalation in the Middle East.

Family members of employees in these representations should leave the service location and travel to a safe place in the region or return to Germany, it said.

Hezbollah confirmed the death of its leader on Saturday after the Israeli Defense Forces said Nasrallah was killed in airstrikes on Dahien, a suburb of the Lebanese capital city.

The Lebanese group Hezbollah, an ally of Iran and the Palestinian group Hamas, has been trading cross-border fire with the Israeli army since the Israeli assault on Gaza began in October 2023, following the Hamas attack on Israeli territory.

Meanwhile, MOFA previously said there were 266 Taiwanese citizens in Israel as of late August.

MOFA also reiterated its advice to Taiwanese citizens not to travel to Lebanon and Israel for safety reasons.

In case of emergency, Taiwanese citizens in Israel should call its office in Tel Aviv at +972-544-275-204. Those who need emergency assistance while in Lebanon should call Taiwan's office in Jordan at +962-79-5552605, MOFA said.

MOFA has issued the highest-level red alert for Lebanon and the second-highest orange alert for Israel.

The ministry uses a four-tiered travel advisory regarding safety and security risks.

The lowest level, gray, signifies caution should be exercised; yellow suggests travel should be reconsidered; orange indicates unnecessary travel should be avoided; and red asks nationals not to travel to a destination.

〔記者蔡昀容／台北報導〕配合兵力訓練及國慶日空中操演，民航局今（29日）表示，松山機場10月2日、4日、6日、10日部分航班將有異動，請旅客提早規劃行程，出發前向航空公司確認航班動態。

據國慶籌備委員會規劃，除10月10日國慶當天的正式操演、10月6日下午彩排，10月2日有「半兵力訓練」，4日有「全兵力訓練」，部分參與操演的飛機將於松山機場起降，相關時段的國際線與國內線航班將受影響。

民航局表示，為讓操演順利進行，並將松山機場旅客影響程度降至最低，台北航空站9月18日及25日邀集飛航松山機場的航空公司、軍方及航管單位研商。因影響涉及國際線、國內線與離島航班，台北航空站已請航空公司先行調整，並通知已訂位旅客。

台北航空站指出，受操演與預演影響，松山機場部分航班時間將有異動，起降時間可能提前或延後，後續離島及花東航線航班亦可能因此遞延；台北航空站已協調航空公司，以「不取消航班」為原則，航空公司將以調整起降時間或增加航機攜帶油量等方式因應。

台北航空站表示，近日航空公司將於官網公布，並事先通知訂位旅客；建議旅客提早規劃行程，出發前先向航空公司確認航班有無異動，減少於機場等候時間。
