The Embassy called on citizens to develop "crisis plan of action" and prepare to "shelter in place for long periods" amid possible upcoming conflict in Lebanon.
It also asked Americans in Lebanon to ensure the validity of their passports for easier and faster travel.
The warning comes after a rocket from Lebanon struck a football field in the Golan Heights on Saturday, killing 12 children and teenagers, according to Israeli authorities.
