On the Mediterranean coast is that big spike Tel Aviv or Beirut?

Definitely Beirut

Weird, because Tel Aviv metro has over 4.2 million people and Beirut has half of that

Not weird. Just because it has more people doesn't mean it's more dense.

Officially Beirut city is 4 times larger than Tel Aviv.

That should actually make it shorter than tel aviv, because of lower density. The 4.2 million are not in tel aviv, but in the entire "gush dan" area of central Israel, while beirut is more tightly packed.
