Location
Bekaa Valley
Rugged folds of Bekaa Valley cradle the sparks of retaliation, where U.S.-backed strikes ignite Palestinian fury, birthing the Jerusalem bombing that claims two American brothers. Dust swirls through terraced vineyards and Hezbollah hideouts as Leo invokes its shadowed contours, transforming the valley's wadis into a volatile precipice. Grief-hardened resolve grips the portico huddle, restraint coiling against vengeful momentum born in this Lebanese tinderbox.
