Marhaba.

I live in Lebanon, Aley district. Israeli airstrike targets are at proximity of my location. Beirut, and particularly Dahieh, is completely visible from my balcony. There are also refugees sheltered in my town.

Other things to know about me: I am a leftist, and a legal and political writer.

P.S. I will answer anything (as it is with AMA posts), not only issues pertaining to the recent events.

    Regarding my second question: I have heard that Maronite Christians are strongly against Hezbollah and even support the entity, so I was curious how different Christian sects in Lebanon would view Hezbollah.

      Support for Hezbollah does not neatly translate into sects. Maronites for instance are evenly divided between pro-resistance and anti-resistance. The last president, a maronite, was pro-resistance and pro-Assad. I cannot confidently speak about other Christian sects but the principle still stands.
