Lebanon says Israel killed teenage boy in its strikes

The Israeli army's airstrikes in eastern Lebanon resulted in the death of a Syrian teenager, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

According to Lebanon's Health Ministry, airstrikes conducted by the Israeli military in eastern Lebanon resulted in the death of a Syrian teenager. The strikes targeted locations associated with Hezbollah's elite Radwan unit, which Israel claims are used for planning and preparing attacks against Israeli forces and civilians. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions and military actions in the region, where conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah have recently escalated.

The Israeli military stated that they struck eight targets belonging to Hezbollah in response to ongoing threats and to enforce the terms of a ceasefire established after the 2024 conflict. Despite the ceasefire, Israel has reportedly continued its military operations almost daily, citing the need to monitor Hezbollah’s rearmament activities. The situation remains fragile as both sides navigate the delicate balance of power and retaliatory measures following the war.

Lebanon's state media reported multiple strikes in the eastern mountainous regions, particularly near the town of Hermel. This region has been a focal point of Israeli-Hezbollah skirmishes, and the continuing airstrikes underscore the protracted instability in southern Lebanon. As both parties continue to assert their military strategies, the civilian population remains caught in the crossfire, raising concerns about human rights and the humanitarian impact on local communities.
