Summary

Description
English: HMS Bulwark had just completed an overnight journey from Beirut to Limassol Port in Cyprus. Where it dropped off over 1000 assisted departees, as part of Operation Highbrow.

The aim of Operation Highbrow is to provide assistance with the departure of British passport holders and those with duel nationality. This was as a result of conflict, involving Israel and elements of the Hezbollah group based in Southern Lebanon. Israel's response to Hezbollah's rocket attacks on Israeli towns, has involved civilian casualties in some Lebanese towns. European governments, including Britain, have offered their citizens help to flee the country.
