Israeli forces have crossed south Lebanon’s Litani River, seizing the medieval Beaufort Castle located in the southern Nabatieh Governorate. This operation has been documented through videos showing soldiers at the historic Crusader-era fortress, where Israeli and Golani Brigade flags have been raised.

The capture of the castle, which dates back to the 12th century, marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Lebanon. The Beaufort Castle has historical importance and has been a focal point in the region’s tumultuous history.

According to Al Jazeera, the operation highlights the ongoing military engagements in the area, raising questions about the implications for both Israeli and Lebanese forces as tensions persist.

The seizure of such a notable landmark underscores the strategic interests at play in the region, with the castle serving not only as a historical site but also as a military objective in the current conflict.
