Lebanese citizens are increasingly leaving the country by sea to avoid the risk of Israel targeting Beirut's airport. Many fear that the airport could be bombed at any moment as Israel's military has warned it could strike there to stop weapons transfers to Hezbollah. Lebanese citizens are opting for the 13-hour sea trip to Turkey aboard cargo ships adapted for passengers instead of flying from Beirut's airport. Demand for these sea trips has soared since the conflict intensified in September, with at least 900 passengers now traveling each week.
