إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Internal Security Forces called on Saturday citizens against resorting to the use of fireworks during various celebrations.

It said in a statement: “The use of fireworks for national, religious, and social occasions, such as weddings, sports events, and the announcement of exam results, raises fear among the people.”

“It also causes bodily harm, including permanent disabilities, and could even reach innocent bystanders,” it added.

It said that the material damage from fireworks could extend to public property and cause disputes among residents of the same neighborhood.

“The ISF urges the people to refrain from the use of fireworks for their safety and that of the public and instead turn to peaceful means that reflect our civility,” it stressed.

A smile in the morning.

The solemn
desire is a
beautiful
sadness that
often returns
when a fine
thought appears.

I agree with the isf with shooting in the air... but fireworks? the lebanese are professionals in knowing and identifying the difference between gunfire, shelling, air raids, car bombes and the noise from fireworks! it's the week of mar elias and mar charbel day? fireworks are not going to scare or raise the fear of people.

fireworks also can create brush or forest fires especially since we are in the middle of our dry season--living in australia, you should be able to respect that.
