After identifying the location, security forces raided the al-Raml al-Ali area in Dahieh and arrested the father of Abbas, identified by his initials as A.A, along with the citizen H.T born in 1997 on suspicion of recording the video.
On Friday, State Prosecutor Judge Samir Hammoud tasked the Bekaa General Prosecutor with launching an investigation in order to identify the source of the video and reveal the circumstances of the incident.
A video went viral on social media platforms on Friday showing a boy severely beaten by a younger child named Abbas at the instigation of an adult whose voice could be heard in the video.
