I’m already in contact with them.
And you know that they are real and it's not a trap? If they are real what would be the reason that you can't meet them in Cyprus or another neutral territory? Anyway, you shouldn't answer this question here but to yourself.
If you know for a fact that they are real because, for example, you went to school with them in Paris, you trust them and they are inviting you, that's a different story. Still, Lebanon is like skating on thin ice.
