Emotional scenes as families escaping Lebanon reunited

Hundreds more Australians are expected to escape from Lebanon as repatriation flights continue to bring people home.

******* has escalated its ********* in the Middle East, expanding its campaign against designated ********** group Hezbollah by ******** and invading Lebanon.

*********** politicians have been calling on citizens to return home through whatever means possible – whether that be government-assisted flights or commercial options.

Hundreds of Australians have been helped out of Beirut by the *********** government, which has organised flights from the Lebanese capital to Larnaca in Cyprus.

From there, a Qantas flight is expected to bring up to 220 people back to *********** on Tuesday evening.

People have already begun arriving, with 349 Australians and their families touching down in Sydney on Monday night after taking a government-assisted repatriation flight operated by Qatar Airways.

As he embraced his children at Sydney Airport, elated father Ahmad Hamid thanked the *********** government for helping them get home safely.

“We got our kids back from Lebanon, from the war. Thank you very much,” he said.

“The situation is very bad (in Lebanon) – the war and the airplanes.

“We spent 10 days on the phone every night. We couldn’t sleep, especially with three kids there.”

Another Qantas flight is expected to arrive in Australia on Thursday.

In two weeks, *******’s ******** campaign has ******* more than 1400 Lebanese people and left another 1.2 million without homes.

This new front in *******’s war opened after a year of ********* in Gaza.

On October 7, 2023, ****** led an ******* on *******, ******** 1200 and taking more than 200 ********, according to the ******** government.

In response, ******* have bombed and invaded Gaza while laying siege to its population, ******** more than 41,000 people and leaving most of the territory’s residents displaced and facing starvation.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese attended a vigil to mark the one-year anniversary of the designated ********** organisation’s *******, while protesters called for a free Palestine and a ceasefire in major demonstrations across the country.

Hezbollah has traded ***** with ******* over its war in Gaza but in late September, ******** forces ramped up their offensive, prompting *********** politicians to call for a ceasefire.
