Nats Great Escape
So Nats got a flight on Jazeera Airways tomorrow that leaves from Damascus. Since morning she has been trying to find a cab that will take her to Syria and she finally called me 15 minutes ago telling me she got one and tomorrow 5AM she will leave her house. Seemed like a good plan until 5 minutes ago Israel bombed her escape route. Now she is trying to find out if there is another route she can take.

Ok Mark, listen to me! Tell Nat to take the Masna3 road! Im not sure which way it is.. but its away from those other roads, my family just got through it… its a safer way.. but its a bit long took them a little while to get through! Get the message to her to take that road! And use the same taxi! tell her to leave ASAP.. my cousin sister and her family friends are also at the border through that road just now! Tell her to take that road! its called 6areeq al Masna3! its an old road that is safe, my father told me there is traffic, but they got to the border and then there is a wait at the border!

Mark, as far as i know, the main highway is still open, she can go to tripoli and cross the border from there

“Now they are bombing the small roads that lead out also.”
They are bombing them because they lead IN. The aim is to make it hard for the Syrian army to enter Lebanon.

My cousin is going through masna3 today via shoof. The road on Dahr El Baidar was bobmed heavily. The assholes even bombed on of the bridges that comes was before the dahr el baidar road just for the heck of it. My house is about 100 meters away from it. Hamdella nobody got hurt.

I think all roads out of tripoli and beirut to syria are gone…or about to be hit. Wouldnt risk it.
Im sure theres another way out. You must ask syrian taxis or something.
sorry

Do you have any plans to meet and be there for her in Damascus should she, god-willing, make it out of Lebanon?
