My mother was fully aware that civilians would be attacked and that there was a real threat to our lives
There was little warning of what was to come when we woke up on the morning of July 13, 2006, to find out that the Rafic Hariri Airport in Beirut had been bombed. Residing near Hezbollah's stronghold, we witnessed firsthand the attacks from our windows, unsure of what was happening and what to make from it.But, as hellfire rained all around us, the only way to make it out of this war alive was to abandon the city.
After all, our problems were just getting started.Members of our extended family were still stuck in Jdeidet, Marj Ayoun in Southern Lebanon.Initially, we had been told that residents of Jdeidet were evacuating South Lebanon through a coordinated convoy, only for news reports on the radio to inform us that it was hit by Israel as it reached the Bekaa.Unable to reach our relatives by phone, we feared the worst, but had more pressing matters on our hands.
