Israeli strikes on Lebanon's Bekaa Valley on February 26, 2026, resulted in the death of a 16-year-old Syrian boy, Hussein Mohsen al-Khalaf, and wounded 29 others. The strikes, which targeted areas including Kfar Dan, Shmestar, and Baalbek, are the latest in a series of ceasefire violations since a November 2024 agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. The Israeli military stated it targeted eight Hezbollah Radwan Force camps, claiming they were used for weapons storage, training, and planning terrorist plots, violating understandings between Israel and Lebanon. According to the UN, over 300 people, including 127 civilians, have been killed in Lebanon since the ceasefire.
