Lebanon's Health Ministry announced that “a 16-year-old Syrian boy was killed,” the National News Agency (NNA) reported on Thursday. He was identified as Hussein Mohsen al-Khalaf and was killed in an attack in Kfar Dan, near Baalbek, media outlet L'Orient reported.

According to ANE, at least 13 airstrikes were recorded, four in Shmestar, five in Boudai, two in Harbata and two in the Hermel and Nabi Chit mountains. Several shops were damaged in the Baalbek souk in Tallet al-Ajami.
The Israeli military said it had attacked eight camps belonging to Hezbollah's special operations unit, the Radwan Force. He said weapons and missiles were stored there and training was carried out “as part of preparations for emergency situations and to plan and execute terrorist plots.” He said this activity was a “violation of understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
Ceasefire violations
Israel's military has continued to carry out attacks in Lebanon, despite a November 2024 ceasefire with the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah that sought to end more than a year of fighting. Since then, more than 300 people have died, including 127 civilians, according to the United Nations.
Last week, at least 12 people were killed in Israeli attacks in the Bekaa Valley and the Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near the city of Sidon. Israel said it was attacking Hezbollah and Hamas command centers.
Lebanon filed a complaint with the UN in January, detailing a total of 2,036 Israeli violations between October and December 2025 alone. It called on the UN Security Council to force Israel to end these actions and completely withdraw from its borders.
Israel continues to occupy parts of Lebanon, blocking the reconstruction of border villages and preventing people from returning to their homes.
Lebanon's government has said it has almost fulfilled its ceasefire commitment to disarm Hezbollah south of the Litani River. He said it will take four months to complete the second phase.
However, Hezbollah has rejected this, saying it believes the disarmament in the ceasefire agreement only applies to areas south of the river.
