Or is that too easy?
I'm wondering about that too. Sure, the main highway to Syria is toast, but surely it is not the only road in Lebenon. I understand that most citizens living there would probably be in shelters (Like they are in Haifa and Northern Israel) but many would move to safer ground - there is an exodus of Israelis from Haifa to Tel-Aviv.

Help for foreigners is a different story. They run to the embassies hoping to get on that 'last helicopter off the roof'. I think most are bussed or flown onto farries taking them to Cypres to fly out. It just takes time.
