THE government is not raising the alert level in Lebanon anytime soon, but its embassy in Beirut continues to operate as if mass repatriation is about to be undertaken, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Saturday.

At the Saturday News Forum in Quezon City, DFA Undersecretary for Migration Eduardo Jose de Vega said no Filipino has been hurt so far in the series of Israeli strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and that most 'are still adamant' about staying in the country.
