Aha! I did not realize that, and it helps a lot. I think I misdirected myself with the reference to the cedars of Lebanon; I thought of the cedar as a symbol for the whole country, as in the Cedar Revolution or the tree on the flag.
Now that I've looked it up on Wikipedia, I find that the last remaining Lebanese cedars are actually all in Mount Lebanon, so my misunderstanding was double.
