Significant military confrontations between Syrian government forces and Shia Lebanese tribal clans aligned with the Hezbollah militant group arose along the Lebanese-Syrian border region beginning on 16 March 2025, particularly around Baalbek-Hermel.

The confrontations escalated on 16 March 2025, when Hezbollah-affiliated militants kidnapped and murdered three Syrian soldiers near Zeita Dam in the west of Homs. The conflict led to the involvement of the Lebanese Armed Forces, creating a destabilized security situation characterized by cross-border artillery exchanges, military buildups along the border, and increasing humanitarian concerns for civilian safety. The instability represented one of the most serious cross-border incidents between the two nations since border clashes from 2012 to 2017.
