Israel Captures Historic Beaufort Castle

Israeli forces have seized Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon — a Crusader-era fortress last held by them over 25 years ago — marking a major escalation in the war with Hezbollah. After days of intense fighting and airstrikes, Israeli troops raised their flag atop the strategically vital site overlooking the Litani River. The move, described by the prime minister as a policy shift, comes just days before peace talks and amid claims of thousands of Hezbollah fighters killed. Despite a fragile ceasefire, clashes continue, with heavy casualties and displacement on both sides, as Israel vows to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure while holding the castle.
