    It sounds like you’re in the affected area. Please accept my well wishes if that is indeed the case. What’s happening right now is disgusting beyond words, and I appreciate you giving your perspective

      I live where people run to for safety. This is supposed to be a normal safe part of Beirut. It’s quiet now and I’m fine but every year is an innovation in terrorism from this criminal entity.

      Thank you for the well wishes.
