The General Directorate of Internal Security Forces - Public Relations Unit issued the following statement: "As a result of the continuous follow-up by the Internal Security Forces to pursue wanted individuals, particularly the dangerous ones, and to identify their locations for arrest, a list of many of them was compiled. The relevant units were tasked with apprehending one of the most dangerous individuals, named H. S. (born in 1973, Lebanese). He is wanted by the judiciary with two arrest warrants and two search and investigation reports related to crimes of gunfire, attempted murder, and weapons possession. He has a criminal record involving murder, robbery, theft, gunfire, drugs, threats, forming a terrorist gang, counterfeiting currency, promoting it, among others. He also intimidates citizens by firing shots to scare them and extorts money from them in the Dahyeh area. He is considered one of the most dangerous armed individuals and has been arrested for 13 years for murder. It is noteworthy that he has brazenly fired at different security forces multiple times and has launched rocket-propelled grenades at them. The latest incident was an attempted murder of a member of the Information Unit on June 12, 2023, in the Cola area, where he shot and injured him with two bullets in the abdomen.

On July 7, 2023, after careful monitoring, the special forces of the Information Unit managed to carry out a swift operation in the Airport Road area, leading to his arrest on a motorcycle without plates. A military handgun, three magazines, 23 usable bullets, and a quantity of drugs were seized from him. During the investigation, he confessed to the allegations against him regarding gunfire and terrorizing citizens for extortion, as well as drug trafficking. Legal measures were taken against him, and he was placed with the seized items at the relevant authority. Therefore, based on the directive of the judiciary, the General Directorate of Internal Security Forces is circulating his photo and requesting those who have fallen victim to his actions to head to the Beirut Information Branch located in Emil Al-Halou Barracks to provide their statements or to call the number 01-307728 in preparation for taking the necessary legal actions. One of the most dangerous wanted individuals is terrorizing citizens and firing to intimidate them while extorting money in the Dahyeh area. The Information Unit has arrested him; did you fall victim to his acts?"
