Israeli Forces Seize Crusader-Era Beaufort Castle in South Lebanon
Israeli troops captured the Crusader-era Beaufort castle near Nabatiyeh. It is their deepest push into Lebanon in over 25 years. The advance follows days of heavy fighting and air strikes against Hezbollah fighters in the rugged border region. The military says the operation aims to dismantle enemy infrastructure and protect civilians. Troops crossed the Litani River despite a nominal ceasefire in place since mid-April. They warn the campaign may expand if needed. Israel first held the castle from 1982 until its withdrawal in 2000.
