Canadian special forces are currently in Israel to assist Canada’s embassy with “contingency planning,” according to a confirmation from the Department of National Defence. This assistance arises from concerns regarding escalating hostilities in the Middle East, especially along the Israel-Lebanon border. The intention is to ensure a swift response in case an evacuation of Canadians becomes necessary due to deteriorating security conditions.
  

Key Points: 

  1. Canadian special forces are assisting the Canadian embassy in Israel with “contingency planning” due to potential escalations of hostilities in the Middle East.
  2. The Department of National Defence mentioned that support from the Canadian Armed Forces would be provided if required for the evacuation of Canadians.
  3. Defence Minister Bill Blair stated that 300 Canadian Armed Forces members are in the region, with their main base situated in Cyprus.
  4. Following the intensification of conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Canadian military facilitated several evacuation flights from Israel to Greece, aiding approximately 1,600 individuals in leaving Israel.
  5. Canada has cautioned its citizens in Lebanon to consider leaving the country, expressing concerns that Hezbollah might fully engage in the conflict given the increasing confrontations along the Israel-Lebanon border. Between 40,000 to 75,000 Canadians reportedly reside in Lebanon.
