Article Abstract:

One of the biggest maritime evacuation programmes since the Second World War, sparked by Israel's invasion of southern Lebanon and the waves of airstrikes that closed Beirut International Airport in July 2006, tested the flexibility and versatility of warships and navy personnel. The program saw the formation of an ad hoc flotilla from a large number of countries, which helped in lifting around 30,000 foreign nationals and their immediate families to ports in Cyrus and Turkey.
