Two groups of Irish citizens have left Lebanon on flights operated by international partners, the Tánaiste has said.
The 24 Irish citizens and their dependents left today and are expected to arrive in Ireland over the weekend.
They departed along with others from "a number of countries", the Department of Foreign Affairs said.
It has thanked the Dutch and Canadian governments for their assistance.
Tánaiste Micheál Martin said the operation is an example of the importance of international cooperation.
"Throughout this crisis, the Department of Foreign Affairs and our Embassy in Cairo has remained in regular contact with Irish citizens in Lebanon," he said.
"We have worked closely with our EU and other partners to exchange information and coordinate our consular response to the situation in Lebanon."
Minister Martin said that many other Irish citizens are "deeply rooted" in Lebanon with family, work and other links.
"While we have been able to assist almost all Irish citizens who have expressed a wish to leave, understandably many have decided to remain," he said.
He added that the Department of Foreign Affairs will remain in close contact with all citizens still in Lebanon over the coming days and weeks.
Irish troops
The Defence Forces has said it remains "in regular contact with our leadership on the ground" on the situation regarding Irish soldiers in the region as part of UNIFIL.
"The safety and security of our personnel stationed in the region remains of paramount concern to the general staff, and we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the families and friends of our personnel for their steadfast support throughout this deployment," it said.
"UNIFIL HQ has instructed all battalions to limit movements with the ongoing situation."
A statement said that those currently on leave have been asked not to return and remain on stand-by.
"Assessments on the supply corridor north of the Litani to Beirut were made at the beginning of the escalations and it was determined that the current environment is not conducive to the movement of large convoys," it said.
"Personnel currently on leave rotation were instructed to hold their return travel to Lebanon and remain on standby until a secure window becomes available to return them to UNP 2-45.
"These plans are being reviewed on a daily basis," it added.
Israeli attacks
More than 1.2 million Lebanese people have been displaced by Israeli attacks, according to authorities in the country.
Nearly 2,000 are reported to have been killed over the past year - most in the past two weeks as Israel retaliates against Hezbollah attacks.
Overnight, Israel carried out further airstrikes on the capital Beirut with some hitting close to the city's international airport.
The Israeli military on Friday ordered more than 30 towns and villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate immediately following the same order for several other areas over the past few days.
At least nine people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a block of flats in Beirut, including seven Hezbollah-affiliated civilian emergency workers.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has advised Irish citizens to avoid travel to Lebanon since August this year.
