As the threat of a regional war looms over Lebanon, civilians are grappling with life-altering decisions. Tensions have escalated following Israel's assassination of Hezbollah's top commander, Fuad Shukr, and Hamas's political chief, Ismail Haniyeh.

This has led to fears of a broader conflict between Israel, Hezbollah, and other Iranian-aligned groups. Many Lebanese, like Loubna El-Amine, are choosing to leave the country out of conce for their safety, while others, such as Majd Akaar and Assad Georges, are staying despite the looming danger. The situation has left the nation in a state of anxiety, as civilians try to navigate daily life amidst the growing possibility of war.
