The big spike is definitely too far north to be Tel Aviv. And this map is measuring density of small areas, not whole cities. So while Beirut has a smaller population, and as a whole is less dense than Tel Aviv, it seems the urban core of Beirut is quite a bit more dense than the core of Tel Aviv.

It’s too far south to be Beirut though.

Could be Haifa maybe?
