Mr. Sbeih, who had been watching from a short distance away as Dr. Seblani was filmed, remembered hearing a small explosion and asking those around him “Did you hear that?”
“And the photographer told me, ‘It’s Lebanon, you know, it’s OK, nevermind,’” he said. “And after that I heard an explosion like I’d never heard in my whole life.”
