Israeli Forces Capture Beaufort Castle in Deepest Lebanon Incursion in Decades
Israeli ground troops seized the strategic, historic Beaufort Castle near Nabatiyeh, marking the deepest incursion into southern Lebanon in over 25 years. The advance followed days of intense fighting and airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions. The Israeli military issued sweeping evacuation orders for civilians south of the Zahrani River, roughly 25 miles from the border, as the combat zone expanded. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated the operation is necessary to hit Iranian-backed infrastructure despite a nominal ceasefire agreement.
