How her ethnicity is listed needs correcting. There are Druze all across the region. It should read something like Father: Lebanese [Druze], Mother: Lebanese [Arab]. It goes without saying that “Lebanese” is a nationality and Druze is religous ethnicity that spans multiple nationalities. In fact, most Druze live in Syria, but aside from Lebanon, they are also well-known in Israel.

She has typical Arab features
Druze is a religion, more precisely branch of Shia Islam, just like the Alawites. Not an ethnicity. They are the same as other Syrians/Lebanese. And contrary to what most people think, they do consider themselves Muslim.
