All this because a terror group decided to engage in war that has nothing to do with them🙄

Lebanon’s biggest export is expatriates. Most every family has a kid or grandkid living abroad, if not the whole family.

They’re not fleeing, they’re cutting their holidays short because airlines are changing flight schedules and fearing there won’t be any tickets available when their holidays are over in a month.

Don't keep blinding yourselves to how Lebanon has declined since Hezbollah took over this once prosperous country.
