Laila, knowing what town your father is from is a great place to start! Lebanon has a fairly official and transparent network of local record keepers, called mukhtars, who are tasked with maintaining birth, death, and marriage records for their locality. This list of mukhtars from the Chouf District Mukhtar Records page of the FamilySearch Wiki shows two individuals over Majdel Meouch. The screenshot is below. I would suggest reaching out to both mukhtars, introduce yourself and share your father's connection to the town. It may be wise to try and develop a relationship with them before asking if they can share records, as doing so promptly may arouse suspicion.
Hopefully this is a helpful starting place! For others on here, what advice do you have for conducting research in Lebanon?

Hi Laila! I agree that contacting the Mukhtars for that town is the best idea! Another resource that may reveal some relatives of the Saber family is the FamilySearch "Genealogies" tool. This will allow you to search all the names entered into the shared family tree by name and location.
Here are some results for Saber in Lebanon:

Good luck searching, let us know if you have success with either of these ideas!
