BEIRUT: The Internal Security Forces called on Lebanese citizens Monday to abstain from bursting fireworks during New Year’s Eve.

In a statement, the ISF said fireworks displays during the holiday season has had lethal consequences, causing death, physical injury, fire and damage to public and private property.

In an effort to prevent any fireworks-related incidents this year, the ISF urged citizens to “express joy in a civilized manner.”
