Sonic booms have unfortunately become a regular occurence in many parts of Lebanon due to the ongoing clashes between Israel and Hezbollah. In fact, sonic booms have intensified recently over Beirut, creating thunderous shock waves which shake buildings, break windows and cause widespread panic and fear.

However, Lebanese almost always refer to jokes and laughter as a mean to combat trauma. In fact, a website called jidarsot.com, which means sound barrier, was recently created to track sonic booms and allow users to submit quick reviews.

Over 160 reports were submitted in the last 24 hours, and as bad as this may seem, the comments on the page will let you leave with a smile.
