For days, the road to Beirut Airport has become a source of concern and terror for many Lebanese, after incidents of stones being thrown at passing cars from the pedestrian bridge adjacent to the Sports City have repeatedly occurred, in a dangerous scene that raised widespread questions about the safety of pedestrians and drivers, especially after one of those incidents resulted in a fatality.

The story began when the young man Mohamed Hamza (born 1975) was injured after a large stone struck his car while he was passing by the bridge at night, returning from work. After days of shock and public anger, he succumbed to his injuries, turning the case into a public issue that occupied the Lebanese and revived fears of the recurrence of such assaults.

With the rising demands to identify the perpetrator, the General Directorate of Internal Security Forces announced the arrest of the person responsible for throwing stones at citizens' cars from the Sports City bridge in Beirut, actions that led to Hamza's death.

A photo of the arrested person for the crime of throwing stones at citizens' cars has been circulated, for those who fell victim to his actions or any other crime, to contact the Information Branch.

With this arrest, one of the most perplexing mysteries that troubled users of the airport road in recent days has been uncovered, but the incident left behind widespread questions about the security of bridges and the protection of drivers from similar assaults that could turn into horrific tragedies in moments.
