The Government Is Clamping Down on Fireworks
July 26, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel banned the use of firecrackers and restricted the use of fireworks […] The conditions stipulate that fireworks be set off by specialists, and that everyone else, especially minors, are removed from the launching area.
But don’t worry, you can always use machine guns when you’re happy (say, when a certain Sayyed or Sheikh is on TV).
