Original Note:
The US State Department does not charter evacuation flights until commercial flights are not available. This is longstanding policy and isn't specific to the Israel/Lebanon conflict. See the "Will the US government always evacuate citizens in crises?" question here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/emergencies/what-state-dept-can-cant-do-crisis.html
