Israeli army captures strategic castle in Lebanon in deepest incursion into the country in 26 years
- On Saturday, Israeli troops captured the strategic, Crusader-built Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, marking a major gain in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah war that began in early March.
- Israeli forces previously held the mountain for 18 years until withdrawing in 2000; troops now occupy villages near the Litani River, used as a de facto boundary during the recent incursion.
- Hezbollah fired rockets at Kiryat Shmona in retaliation for airstrikes, while a Friday airstrike on Adloun killed a Syrian family of eight, part of a conflict displacing more than 1 million people.
- Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the incursion, accusing Israel of "implementing a policy of total destruction of cities and towns" and stating Israel will not gain security through a "scorched-earth policy."
- Lebanese and Israeli officials are scheduled to hold another round of direct talks in Washington on Tuesday, though Prime Minister Salam cautioned the negotiations may not produce immediate results.
