Here are the top 10 most dangerous spots in Lebanon as mentioned by Matt Nash.

10- Ain al-Hilweh
9- PFLP-GC Training Camps

7- Hospital Emergency Rooms
6- Minefields
5- Laylaki
4- Syria Street
3- Al Kabir River
2- Arsal/Hermel/Baalbeck
1- The Highways/Roads

I didn’t expect to see “Hospital Emergency Rooms” in that list haha! Unfortunately though, and according to a study conducted in late 2012 by the American University of Beirut, nurses face more workplace violence than security guards in Lebanon.
