OTTAWA 鈥� Global Affairs Canada says it's aware of reports of the death of a 91原创 in Lebanon.
The department says officials are in contact with the person's family to offer assistance.
This comes after two 91原创s were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon in late September amid an escalating conflict between Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah.
91原创s in Lebanon are being urged to take commercial flights out of the country while the option remains.
Global Affairs says it has helped more than 1,050 91原创s, permanent residents and immediate family members leave Lebanon.
It says there are more than 25,000 91原创s registered as being in Lebanon, but notes the true number may be higher because registration is voluntary.
