The US Department of State has authorized the return to the Levant of the families of its diplomatic corps.

All diplomatic families, as well as non-essential personnel of US Embassies in Lebanon and Turkey had been exfiltrated from the Near-East, on September 6th 2013. Special security measures had been taken for the personnel and families attached to the embassies in Iraq and Jordan.

The chemical weapon crisis having ended in a pacific agreement, and the principle of bombing Syria having been discarded by President Obama, the earlier measure has been revoked.
