US Embassy in Beirut in Lebanon, set on fire.

The US Embassy in Beirut has been set on fire as riots erupt. All non-essential State Department staff must leave the region, and a level four travel advisory has been issued to all Americans advising against travel to Lebanon.

As the Beirut riot escalated this morning, President Biden embraced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in neighboring Israel. It is the latest show of US support in its ongoing conflict with Hamas.
