Beirut, Lebanon — Jad Barazi’s roommates nowadays keep their windows open. Not for the air — but so they won’t shatter from a sudden blast.
Working on her laptop in a cafe in Hamra, a bustling Beirut neighbourhood, the 27-year-old entrepreneur said she is coping with anxiety in anticipation of a possible large-scale Israeli attack on the city. Since moving to Lebanon more than a year ago, the French-Lebanese national says she has gradually grown accustomed to living in a country locked in a low-scale conflict with Israel.
