Giza, Egypt – A dramatic incident occurred this morning in the Kerdasa area of Giza Governorate, beginning with a verbal altercation and ending in a horrific hit-and-run.

“provocative” poster and a confrontation with local residents
The incident began when a Jeep SUV, license plate number (H.A. 1346), driven by an agricultural engineer named A.A. (35 years old), stopped in front of a shop on the main street.
Passersby quickly gathered around the vehicle after noticing two stickers bearing the Israeli flag affixed to the rear windows on either side.
A heated argument ensued between the driver and several residents who objected to the stickers.
This prompted the driver to attempt a reckless speeding attack to escape the crowd.
However, his attempt ended with him losing control of the vehicle amidst the heavy traffic.

Reckless driving resulted in the driver running over three pedestrians, causing lacerations and severe bleeding.
The car also collided with several parked cars and motorcycles in the vicinity.
The incident didn’t end there. Residents pursued the driver and blocked his path with another vehicle to force him to stop.
A heated altercation ensued, during which the driver was assaulted and parts of his car were damaged.
Security forces arrived, took custody of the driver from the residents, and impounded the vehicle.
