Turkey is making preparations for the possible evacuation of its citizens and foreign nationals from Lebanon, due to cross-border fire between Israel and Hezbollah, a Turkish defense ministry source said on Thursday. The military has the "capability and resources to carry out any mission assigned to it for the safe evacuation of our citizens or foreign nationals from Lebanon," the source said during a briefing. "Preliminary planning and preparations for a potential evacuation operation are being made," the person said, adding Turkey had successfully completed such operations before and was closely following developments in Lebanon.
